    • How Much Detail Should My Book Proposal Include? | Episode 23

      How Much Detail Should My Book Proposal Include? | Episode 23
      Feb 10 2026
      On this episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, Debra Eckerling answers the question, “How much detail should my book proposal include?” While it’s easy to assume that more information will make a proposal stronger. In reality, however, too much detail can work against you. A book proposal is not the book — its job is to sell the book. That means the goal is clarity, not completion. In this episode, Debra walks you through three core sections of a book proposal — concept, context, and content — and explains how important it is to find the right balance between too much and not enough. She says it’s only okay to draft a long proposal at first - get everything out of your head and onto the page - and then refine it so only the most essential, compelling pieces remain. If you think you’re overexplaining, overloading, or oversharing in your proposal, you probably are. This episode will help you trust your instincts, sharpen your focus, and create a proposal that gets decision-makers excited about your book. *** Book Proposal Expert Debra Eckerling is the author of "Your Goal Guide" and "52 Secrets for Goal‑Setting and Goal‑Getting."

    • What Role Does Networking Play in the Book Proposal Process? | Episode 22

      What Role Does Networking Play in the Book Proposal Process? | Episode 22
      Feb 3 2026
      On this episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, Debra Eckerling answers the question, “What role does networking play in the book proposal process?” When people hear the word networking, they often think of awkward events, forced small talk, or salesy conversations. That’s not what networking means. Networking is actually relationship development. And relationships matter, both while you’re writing your book proposal and as you work toward getting a book deal. Networking factors into your proposal in several ways. It increases visibility, which shows up in your author platform through speaking gigs, social and traditional media, and involvement in online and in-person communities. It creates opportunities from podcast interviews, media coverage, and speaking engagements to introductions to resources, event organizers, and even agents and publishers. Most importantly, networking shows that you’re taking action as an authority in your space. Every meaningful connection can strengthen your book proposal, support your platform, and help you reach decision-makers. No matter where you are in the book proposal process, networking isn’t optional. It’s an essential part of the publishing journey. *** Book Proposal Expert Debra Eckerling is the author of "Your Goal Guide" and "52 Secrets for Goal‑Setting and Goal‑Getting."

    • How Does Public Speaking Strengthen My Book Proposal? | Episode 21

      How Does Public Speaking Strengthen My Book Proposal? | Episode 21
      Jan 27 2026
      On this episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, Debra Eckerling answers the question, “How does public speaking strengthen my book proposal?” If you’re working on a nonfiction book proposal, public speaking isn’t just something you do after the book is published — it’s an asset that strengthens your proposal right now. Debra explains how speaking engagements provide proof of concept, build your author platform, and create valuable assets like photos, video clips, testimonials, and media coverage that agents and publishers care about. Your book proposal is a living document. Every talk and media moment adds value to your platform section, so add in new items with links whenever you have them, whether it’s for your first or next book proposal. If you’re writing a nonfiction book proposal, public speaking can be one of your most powerful—and often underutilized—assets. And it should be part of your proposal strategy from the beginning. *** Book Proposal Expert Debra Eckerling is the author of "Your Goal Guide" and "52 Secrets for Goal‑Setting and Goal‑Getting."
