Have you ever been unsure about where your story is going next? Have you ever wondered about how
to identify your audience and why that even matters? Have you ever been confused about what a good comp title is? Have you ever even maybe considered writing nonfiction? 

Even if you only write fiction, this class is still for you! In it, we’ll discuss how to create a strong nonfiction book proposal and how the principles that guide nonfiction are also really important for everything from outlining your plot, marketing your book, and developing your brand as a writer. Using a fake book proposal, we’ll explore the necessary components for a nonfiction book proposal and how thinking like a nonfiction writer helps you write fiction (and how thinking like a fiction writer will make you a better nonfiction writer!).
