Book proposal guide form:

Please use this form to help you prepare your book proposal. If your book is in its early stages, don’t worry too much, just put down as much detail as you are able to. Feel free to either fill in the details below, or attach as many sheets of addition material as you care to. You can either print this document and fill it in by hand, or fill it in using your word processing software and print the finished result. 

This isn’t a job application! It really is ok to be a little vague at this early stage.
