I. Proposal

 * **Title:** The title of my book will be along the lines of "Lessons Learned to Living Longer."


 * **Synopsis/Description:** The book will include activities and suggestions that make it both convenient and enjoyable to workout and be healthy. Life is on the fast track. Why can't your health be as well? With creating this book, I want college students and young adults to be able to keep up with their health and fitness before it is too late, or so people believe. The purpose of this book is to inform people about effective and practical ways to accomplish and maintain a healthy lifestyle. It really isn't that hard, and it can in fact be enjoyable. In addition, I will be including synopsis and quotations from people I have influenced and helped and how their lives are after being taught what works for them. I believe that everyone can benefit from this book, not because I am trying to promote it but because I have seen it done. I look forward to working out, and although the process can sometimes be hard and repetitive, I feel like I have accomplished some great after I am done with each workout. Everyone needs structure in their lives no matter in what area. Let it begin in the area of confidence and knowledge. I want people to become aware of what to do, how to it, and to feel good about themselves. I don't want people to feel like staying healthy is just another job; I want it to develop into another hobby.


 * **Outline:** The book will have a series of section, like chapters, that will consist of different aspects of life that influence each other in regards to staying healthy. For instance, I will have an eating healthy section, a staying physically fit section, and a staying mentally fit section. The length of each chapter or section will depend on the personal quotes and statements I receive from others on my topic. I plan on incorporating illustrations explaining and showing readers what an exercise or stretch move looks like when it is done correctly. I am also including personal quotes and statements from people who have gone through weight loss or even through the process of staying fit and healthy and what it has done for their overall life.


 * **Audience:** My main targeted age group is college students and young adults, because as a person gets older his or her body changes and ages. Therefore, some of these stretches or exercises might be too difficult for them. With this intended audience, I want to keep the style and content in the book eye-catching and interesting. I want readers to want to read on and see what comes next.


 * **Competition:** My competition will mainly be other dominant and well-known exercising organizations who are known for "changing peoples lives." However, I am confident that the accessibility of my book will be helpful to my success.

‍‍II. Publishing Plan

 * **Material:** I will get material and images from websites that allow free usage, but I will also self-compose stories, guides, and images where needed. Perhaps, I will ask others about their stories and experiences and write them and embellish on them.


 * **Timeline:** 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.


 * **Service:** I would really like to be able to advertise my book on the Amazon-CreateSpace-Kindle service; however, I really liked the simplicity and stress-free service on Issue.com.
