In Game Plan for Getting Published, literary agent Maryann Karinch tells non-fiction authors how to present a book project to an agent and work with a commercial publisher.

Karinch, who founded The Rudy Agency in 2004, describes a query letter and proposal in detail and provides samples of each. She also introduces the reader to the process of working with a publisher.

The book is concise, humorous, and includes references to other material that would be useful to a first-time author of any genre of non-fiction. Authors of novels would also benefit from the insights included on writing a query letter and book promotion.

Game Plan for Getting Published has generous doses of insider information, some of which come from Karinch’s own experience as a commercially published author. The book also gives step-by-step guidance on development of a promotion plan, which is now a required element of most proposals for works of non-fiction.

The book is divided into four parts: the Query Letter, the Proposal, the Contract, and Promotion Is Part of Publishing–Tips and Tricks.
