Book title, sub title and one-line description Give a title and subtitle that describe what the book is. Then add a one liner that summarizes the "promise" of the book, e.g. "Build beautiful web sites with this free CMS"

Who will use your book, and what will they use it to do? Be specific, be narrow. Here, we are more excited if it sounds like a few people NEED the book than 1,000,000 people who MIGHT find it interesting. For example: "People who are trying to build a Drupal theme will use it as a quick way to solve the problems they face on the way". Feel free to mention several different audiences and uses. For each audience say who they are, what they want to do, and what the book will do for them.

What will the book be like? Describe the book in (slightly) more detail. What is the general structure? What are the main sections?

Why do you think people will buy this book? Include evidence that the topic is popular and/or that the problem your book solves is serious, and people are actively seeking a solution. Put in what you know... we can help you add more detail here.

What other books might people consider instead of this one? If there are other books that cover the same topic or solve a similar problem, mention them here -- and discuss the reasons and circumstances where your book would be a better choice.

Your experience with the topic Tell us about your own experience with the topic here. Also use this field to add any other relevant information or ask questions.
