Educating aspiring authors about creating a book proposal is what new website BookProposalWriting.com offers.
In addition, they have a free online “Book Proposal Writing Workshop,” which teaches writers and book authors how to write a book proposal in seven days or less. The Workshop covers important topics such as: “Why write a book proposal first?,” “How to generate ideas to write your book proposal,” “How to write your book’s blurb for your book proposal,” and “How to write your book proposal query letter.” At the end of the Workshop, aspiring book authors can download a free sample book proposal and use it as a working template for their own work-in-progress proposals.
You’ll also find many free how-to articles and audio articles on writing, designing and selling a book, as well as many instructional videos showing step-by-step how to write different components of a book proposal.
While there are lots of links to their advertisers, there are also some solid examples of how-to create a book propsal for a publisher to use when considering whether to publish your book or not.

If you’re weighing the choice between the small selection of Readers available, you’ve probably narrowed it down. For me that choice would be between the Kindle from Amazon the Apple iPhone. I lean toward the iPhone myself.
I came across an interesting tid bid for consideration today as well. Apparently your Kindle can become something akin to a paper weigh should you piss off the Amazon powers that be and loose your account there. This would also mean you no longer had access to your Kindle download purchases. Amazon promises that you never have to worry about not having a copy of all your downloads because they keep a record and access for you there, except it seems when you no longer have an account with them.
