Extra credit-conference proposals

The third meeting with writing tutors was about conference proposals. They were talking about why to write proposals,what to include/exclude and how to write for this audience.
Writing a proposal (sometimes called an abstract) for an academic conference can be difficult, especially for graduate students who are new to the process. The key to a successful proposal is knowing what kind of information to include and how to frame it. With some heavy editing, however, you can make even a still-nascent idea sound like a wonderful paper. they also give us some tips for writing this:
Do not fear rejection. Conference papers are chosen for a variety of reasons, and a topic's merit is only one of them. Often, organizers are more interested in choosing papers with related themes rather than simply choosing the best papers, so do not be discouraged by rejection. Just try again.
