- How to categorize your novel, and the sixteen ways of describing it

- Nine ways of selling your novel

- Descriptions of the jobs of literary agent, editor, and writer

- Examples of actual story synopses, and successful query letters--in all the genres

- How to prepare sample chapters

- Thirty questions a writer needs to ask a prospective agent
