Today I'd like you to practice writing a selling handle for your book. Feel free to go back and reread the section about selling handles in Chapter 2 of this lesson. Then, take a look at the description you wrote for your book idea back in Lesson 2. Now turn it into one sentence that will sell your book idea to agents and editors.
Remember, most successful handles address one or more of these questions:
- What makes your book unique or distinctive?
- What is your book about?
- What does it do for readers?
- How does it compare to other books in existence?
Your selling handle should be one sentence and follow this format:
[Book title] is _____________________.
Once you've written a handle, share it with us in the Discussion Area!

Don't Cry Over Spilt Paint, Painting on Location for the Absolute Beginner is the only book that has put a practical plan in one place to help the beginning painter begin painting on location.
by: your instructor
This is a great start! You may want to reword "beginning painter begin painting" due to root word repetition.
