On the episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, Debra Eckerling answers the question, “How do I format my book proposal?”

One of the keys to writing a saleable book proposal is you need to make it as easy to read as possible. That means using an actual word processing program – like Word or Pages – rather than the cloud, and creating a Table of Contents, so whoever is reading it can easily navigate through the different sections. Debra also talks about formatting the text, preferred fonts and size, and adding hyperlinks, as well as the rule about photos and other graphics.
