		<description>&lt;p&gt;Chris: thanks a lot. Actually, I&#039;m not quite sure what this was meant to be. I mean, it&#039;s a rather brief and superficial description of my book, but clearly not meant to be a formal proposal. I mainly didn&#039;t want to be going to the Frankfurter Buchmesse with empty hands in case I met any &quot;interested&quot; people... not that this text here was very useful (I have a post to write on what I learnt from the book fair, I think I&#039;ll do it tomorrow).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The proposal itself will have to be in French, as that&#039;s the language I&#039;ll be writing the book in. But I guess it could also be useful to have some English version of what I&#039;m doing stashed away somewhere.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As you can probably see, I&#039;m still swimming in the beginning of the big blue sea of &quot;where do I start&quot;, and using the &quot;start with a really shitty first draft&quot; technique to at least be writing something, rather than kicking myself repeatedly for not doing anything.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your series on writing a book proposal seem really interesting and I&#039;m certain I&#039;ll use those posts. So thanks again for stopping by.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Stephanie,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is this just a small part of your proposal?  It looks like a great start, but from my point of view it&#039;s not nearly enough. A great proposal has sevral sections you have not included here, so I suspect this is just a sampling.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve written a series of posts on &lt;a href=&quot;http://ckwebb.com/tag/book-proposal&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;writing book proposals&lt;/a&gt; that may provide you with some additional ideas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Good luck!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Cathy: I agree with you 100% -- I changed the order of the questions. This is exactly the kind of feedback I need, keep it coming!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It sounds very interesting, and I think very useful. My one comment - and this is nitpicking! is that your first question is about danger. I know that this is what parents think about first when they think about their kids&#039; internet usage, but this first place gives it once again a prominence it might not merit - and could indicate that the book will be dealing with online predators and how to avoid them. Then again, it is nitpicking and I am a little bit oversensitive on the issue - as are I think a lot of people who study and research young people&#039;s internet lives. People&#039;s reactions are nearly always either dismissive or fearful, so I can only applaud a book that will try and change this!  May you reach many many parents :)&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Bertrand: thanks for the tip about the tense, I&#039;ve changed it. I know I have a problem with bracket over-use. And I&#039;m not sure that in this situation I&#039;d really consider myself a native speaker ;-)&lt;/p&gt;
