Summary: I Just Love How You Get Me To Write!
Comment: Great piece of work, Ms. Lyon! I bought this book because two publishers requested a proposal from me and I did not know A THING about book proposals. Well, thanks to Elizabeth's book, I am happy to report I finished writing my proposal and sent it out two days ago. And I can honestly say I feel completely confident in it. The proposal was A LOT of work, but with Elizabeth inspiring me and evoking the best out of me, I wrote a beautiful proposal. Elizabeth seems to have a gift of getting my best writing out of me. I am very grateful she teaches proposals for memoirs, as that is what my book is about. (not my current life memoirs, but a past life memoirs, if you can believe that!) As I read her words and thought about her wisdom, presto! The ideas come rushing into my head and onto paper. I just LOVE it! I owe a GREAT thanks to you, Elizabeth.

Summary: If you want your non-fiction book published devour this book
Comment: If you are interested in receiving an advance or contract before you write your nonfiction book, then Elizabeth Lyon's Nonfiction Book Proposals Anybody Can Write is a bookshelf-must you will treasure! Lyon has demystified the process of writing proposals in simple How-Why-What steps. An editor, writing instructor, and "book doctor" she wrote this best-seller after observing her students and clients struggle to understand the basic steps of proposals. Her book is organized in order of reader need, packed with practical and easy-to-use information and interwoven with examples of proposals. Peppered with chapter goals, it will keep you in writer's mode until your book is assembled, polished and ready to market. The recipe in this book gives you the tools to be taken seriously by the publishing world. "Elizabeth Lyon knows proposals the way a surgeon knows anatomy" best-selling author Gary Provost. "You helped me create a tightly written, well-organized, and great-looking book proposal from concept statement to appendix" Bill Buzenborg V.P. of National Public Radio's Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

Summary: Get rejected too often? Get Elizabeth Lyon to help you!
Comment: You get rejected, you wonder why? Could it be that the book proposal is not the best it could be? To get an answer to that question I read Ms. Lyon's book, and saw that it was full of solutions to my problems. I asked her to comment on my proposal. I incorporated her comments/suggestions, and that new proposal got accepted and I got published. I'll never know for sure, but without Ms. Lyon's book and advice, I might still be dreaming about getting published.
