Congrats on getting to the point where you need to gear up and get that book proposal done so your agent can start shopping it! I feel like one key to getting the damn thing done is to break it down into manageable chunks—and to do that you need to plan out a solid framework for it.
The hardest part for me was always forcing myself to put my marketing cap on so I could talk coherently about the audience for my book, and what my book had that previous books in the field didn’t. And a lot of that comes down not just to becoming comfortable thinking about your book as a consumer product, but about yourself as someone who can create something a good-sized group of people would want to buy.
