‍I. Proposal

 * 1) Title and Basic Sales Point: (two sentences).
 * 2) Synopsis/ Description: describe the scope, purpose, and significance or value in 1-2 paragraph. Be positive but not bombastic; be specific about the overall aims of the book.
 * 3) Outline or TOC: what will be included; list titles and authors if it is a collection; describe each chapter or section in a sentence or two.
 * 4) Authors' background (when applicable).
 * 5) Sample chapter(s): no more than two. If you are writing an introduction or preface, this would be useful to include. Make the selection "representative" not atypical.
 * 6) Materials/Apparatuses: length, plans for illustrations, index, glossary, etc.
 * 7) Market / Audience: What is the intended reader for this book? Does it appeal to more than one group? How do the style and the content fit a need? What "category" does this book belong in? For example, if it is an educational text, what age student in what kinds of courses would be likely to read it?
 * 8) Competition: Describe other projects that are comparable. Discuss differences and similarities, explaining what makes your project distinctive or of competitive value. Several specific titles should be mentioned.

‍II. Publishing Plan

 * 1) Where will you get the material. **I will get material**
 * 2) What is your timeline (and workflow) for acquisition, editing, layout, submission, proofreading, and production? **My timeline is manageable and balanced so that I can produce a put together book by the end of the semester. I will give myself the most time for acquiring and/or writing the material which will be about two weeks. I will aim to accomplish the other processes in roughly five days each. The timeline will be altered and changed depending on the choice and time needed for production.**
 * 3) What service will you use? And what are the "constraints" in terms of format, cost, or time you need to be aware of?
 * 4) Does your service allow for some degree of actual marketing and sales (i.e. listing on Amazon)?
