I've done a few in my time mate - do you simply want a framework?

Mate, I would say your basic structure would include the following...

Manuscript: how long is it (word count); what's the running order (chapters); when you can submit it completed; will you need permission for copyrighted material; a blurb of a couple hundred words describing what you've got for them (the genre/storyline/original idea); what other books are in your book's field (competing books); who can you see as the audience; where (outlets) you think it'd be sold in.


That's what I'd want to know if I were a publisher.

Out of interest, how are you going to project your revenue? I'm kinda skeptical about their worth y'see.

To clarify ; The Book is the Book . I WANT Me Novel Published , Naturellement , however , the Business Plan is in order to qualify for Funding , etc ...

But OF COURSE youd be sceptical , ...DUH !!!

Not skeptical of your writing, but business plans seem to be finger in the air territory to me. Hardly worth the paper they're written on. It's no wonder our banks are in a pickle if that the best criteria they can find for lending to someone.

Alas if it's a hoop you have to jump through this might be handy.

I would imagine if it's based upon your blog then traffic figures to your blog would also be rather handy.

its ACTUALLY based on Transfer Window Figs - (He told ME to get the Site ... THT wanted one anyway ..Thus ; Tah-Dah !!! ) I THINK and having a " Captive Audience " , IS I believe , how he put it ..

Though , IT IS just a Hoop Like ...See ??? HE has to get paid too ...

Thus , He helps me earn , I get off State Dependency , HE earns a Shillin' ...

THAT is the Logic I THINK ...


But THEY REQUUIRE a Business Plan ...
But , Nice One , Lid ..
