Barbara Morrison

Lifelong Learning LogoCourse Title: Nonfiction Book Submission Package 

Instructor: Barbara Morrison, MA

Brought to you by Odyssey  

January 28, 2025 - February 11, 2025 (3 Sessions) 

Tuesday,  6:30PM ET - 8:30PM ET 

Virtual via Zoom

 

 

Course Description: You will need to create a submission package, if you want your book to be published by a traditional publisher. Although agents and editors have individual submission requirements, there are certain elements of the package that are required or recommended for all nonfiction books. Moreover, these elements are recommended even if you choose to self-publish. This course will give you the tools to create these items, including query letters, competitive analysis, marketing plan, and a nonfiction book proposal.
