Join me for my Sizzlin' Summer Seminars Interview with guest Bob Bly today at 10:00 ET

Hi,

Just wanted to remind you about today's Blog Talk Radio Program "Sizzlin' Summer Seminars" today at 10:00 a.m. when my guest is legendary copywriter, author and speaker Bob Bly.

Bob's latest book is called "The Handbook of Model Book Proposals" and in it he gives you 10 of his most successful book proposals that resulted in those books being published by well-known publishing houses. (Bob is the author of more than 70 books).

Here's a sample of what you'll find in "The Handbook of Model Book Proposals" that Bob will be talking about today:

First of all, each proposal is annotated with notes showing you exactly what Bob did to get editors to "bite on his bait" -- which resulted in a contract to write the book. Even more than that, he goes into detail of why he wrote each proposal the way he did - which is incredibly valuable to any author.

In The Handbook of Model Book Proposals, you'll discover:

*How to convince skeptical editors that you are qualified to write the book you are proposing - page 19.
*The 8 critical sections of your book proposal - and what to put in each. Page 3.
