Over 50,000 books are published in America each year, the vast majority nonfiction.

Filled with trade secrets, Thinking Like Your Editor explains: . why every proposal should ask and answer five key questions; . how to tailor academic writing to a general reader, without losing ideas or dumbing down your work; . how to write a proposal that editors cannot ignore; . why the most important chapter is your introduction; . why "simple structure, complex ideas" is the mantra for creating serious nonfiction; . why smart nonfiction editors regularly reject great writing but find new arguments irresistible.
