Writing and Selling a Nonfiction Book

This practical handbook is a step-by-step guide to writing successfully for one of today's most receptive markets - nonfiction books. Drawing on his own experience in this field, Max Gunther presents his tested approach to planning, writing, and selling full-length nonfiction, and effectively demonstrates the process which has worked so well for him and other best-selling writers. Based on the author's belief that "writing a book looks considerably harder than it is" and that the essential equipment a writer needs is "a fondness for words, an enjoyment of the writing process, and some knowledge of nonfiction book techniques, plus the courage to make a first attempt," this book makes success not only possible but achievable in the expanding field of nonfiction books.
