Step 3: Collaborate Online

Once assembled, the project team works together to assemble a more formal book proposal. Using a template we provide, the proposal includes marketing and publicity ideas, analysis of similar titles already available, and sales projections. It requires the knowledge and expertise each team member brings to the table and when completed, it's submitted for peer review.

For the peer review, other project teams who are publishing their own project books, evaluate your proposal. If the teams collectively approve your project, you get a contract from Hol and begin the work of publishing the book. If not, your team can decide to scrap the project entirely or go back, revise your proposal, and try again.
