  • Forming an idea, which is also the underpinning of the overview section of the proposal
  • Researching agents and markets
  • Overall structure of a proposal
  • Writing the sections: 
    • About the Author
    • About the Market
    • About the Competition, Publicity and Marketing, Research, Chapter Summaries
