I just got off the webcast that Terry Whalin did with 8 top publishing executives, and I have to tell you, it stands as one of the few BEST calls I have ever listened to, in terms of quality, helpful content.

Terry asked each publishing pro (editor, publisher, or literary agent) to talk about what book proposal stood out in his or her mind, and why. Each person gave a different perspective, which added to the richness. Also, each person worked with different kinds of books, from fiction to practical living to narrative nonfiction, so we truly got a cross-section of perspectives.

Terry also asked each person about the most common errors they see in book proposals. Each person gave at least one, and again, there was a wide variety of perspective.

Listen to this call! (The replay is available if you missed the live call). It comes with 65 pages of reference material submitted by the participants.

I’ll tell you, it’s the best $20 investment you can make in your career as an author. (It’s $20 with your $79 VIP discount. It would be worth much more than regular price of $99 to get the nearly 2 hours of input from these people whom you could never meet otherwise.)

But there’s more. Terry’s Proposal Secrets package answers 50 questions he’s gleaned about book proposals in his many years as an editor, author himself (60 books), and literary agent, and delivers solid answers.

Folks, I rarely get this enthusiastic about a product, but this is absolutely the most comprehensive information out there on the subject of book proposals. Plus, if you’re one of the first 20 to order Proposal Secrets, you get 30 minutes of Terry’s time to go over your proposal.

There are also very valuable bonuses that will round out your chances of landing a great book contract AND having a best-selling book.

If you dream of a publisher paying you a handsome advance for your book, if you dream of getting on a best-seller list (which is almost impossible unless you’re published by a traditional publisher), you owe it to yourself to make this small investment and really study–and take to heart–what you can learn here.

At least listen to the call … but I urge you to get the full package as well.
