A Reviewer writes, I have been working on the proposal for my latest non-fiction book for some time. Even though I have sold three previous business books without an agent, I feel like the topic of this book requires a top agent if the book is to sell to one of the leading New York publishers and receive the attention it requires from them. I reread my old stand-bys among books that have helped me in the past to write successful book proposals. I realized that those books are more aimed at the average non-fiction book rather than one that has the potential for a wide audience. On my fourth trip to find a book to help me with this proposal, I found the 3rd edition of How to Write a Book Proposal by Michael Larsen. That was a momentous day for me as a writer! This book made it clear how to make the case for a major publisher to take on a non-fiction book and give that book full support. In addition, the book assumes that the reader is capable of producing such a proposal and book. What a breath of fresh air that was! I found myself both informed and motivated to create a wonderful proposal. In the process, I learned some excellent tips for writing query letters to agents, preparing mini-proposals and packaging the final proposal. Although I am experienced in this area, I found Mr. Larsen's many detailed descriptions and examples of what is needed to be very helpful and stimulating. I also recommend that you visit Mr. Larsen's Web site for his literary agency where he provides excellent information for how to work with him as an agent. Even if you think you have a book with limited commercial potential, you would do well to read and apply this book. You may be able to switch your focus to create a book with much more potential as a result. Good luck with your next proposal!

It is, instead, a light-hearted and illogical mixture of history, old buildings, cookery ideas, and minimum effect recipes that allow us to lead our busy lives and still have a happy creative time in the kitchen. The food in this book is English, much of it traditional, though the manner of preparing it is not. The recipes are all test-cooked of course. They are also test-eaten, which is interesting.
