Nonfiction proposal…
Posted in Nonfiction on 12. Feb, 2010
If you need me this weekend… I will be in front of my computer probably with pots and pots of coffee… working on a nonfiction proposal.
What was that? Oh, yes… someone just said: “Wow Eisley, I didn’t even know you wrote nonfiction…”
Haha, me neither.
Well, that isn’t entirely true. I have written plenty of nonfiction things devoted to my personal blog over the years (five years blogging now? Crazy!). I have had oodles of ideas run through my head on topics I feel aren’t being expressed in the right way, or just not at all. However, as a fiction writer for the time, I really hadn’t thought about it seriously enough to pitch to anyone.
Then this opportunity fell square into my lap… and when I say fell, I do mean *kerplop*… FELL. I don’t know what I can share with you right now, but I am excited and I already have my first couple ideas cooking on paper. I am beyond excited about the doors that are being opened right now…
However, I have been requested to submit a nonfiction proposal… umm by next week! I have never done a nonfiction proposal, nor researched, nor even thought of… until yesterday at 12:00noon. Now, it has become the all consuming thoughts in my brain. I woke up this morning at 3:00am thinking about the ideas. Gotta love that.
The idea rolling around my brain at 3:00am, that I came up with around 8:30pm last night, will be what my proposal is for. Still excited, I emailed some of the demographics this idea would cater to and get their feedback. I came home this afternoon with 35 emails in my box saying, “YES! I would buy that!” in some form or another. The response has been overwhelming, “I have never heard of that type of <THING> before, I would totally buy it!”
I feel like I am in a dream… an awesome bizarre dream, but a dream… Yesterday morning, I woke up as a fiction author, thinking about nonfiction down the road… I went to bed a nonfiction author (to be) with fiction on the side.
I am encouraged by the recent events and know everything happens for a reason. Hopefully, I can share all the details with you all soon!
Some of the resources I will be combing through this weekend are listed below:
