Book Proposal

Seeking representation for my magnum opus, I wondered at the start how someone who is (we hope) competent to write a metaphysic should be competent to write a proposal. They are two different things. My first proposals to literary agents were an order of magnitude worse than my work I think, but I have learnt a lot. OBSERVATION: One thing about proposals is that one needs to promote both one's work and oneself. Ministers are generally taught how not to promote themselves. It seems out of character to do so. I have just revised my proposal for speakers of British English (I first wrote it in American English).
