Send us an elevator pitch, a TOC, and at least one chapter
- Start with the elevator pitch (see a sample below). Keep it brief.
- Give us a draft of your book's Table of Contents, including main chapter titles and subtitles and a one- or two-sentence annotation that helps us understand the thinking behind each chapter.
- Give us a draft of at least one chapter of your book--preferably NOT the introduction or conclusion. (It can be pretty rough at this point.)
- Give us some biographical information about you: your experience, writing samples, social media links, and anything else you believe we should know about you.
- Email your proposal to us here. In the subject field write: Life Edition pitch
