In this episode I share my publishing stories.
Each book I’ve written has a slightly different story — but the fact is that it wasn’t something that just “happened” —
I’ve had the idea that I was a writer who wanted to write books since childhood.
When I was in my very early twenties I began querying literary agents and it took close to 5 years of “NOs” before I got my first YES.
And then I got fired from that publisher.
Listen in as I share the formula and path that I took to find my first literary agent, how I kept going even when it seemed like it wouldn’t ever work and how even though I THINK I’m pretty smart, I still fell for a scam.
I also share the exact numbers I’ve gotten for advances, because I know a few of you were wondering.
Take a listen and LMK your thoughts —
Do you have a book in you?
This is the nonfiction book proposal guide that I mention in this episode.
and this is the Steve Scott 21 Days to a nonfiction book I used for my self-published Amazon books.
If you want to write Fiction — go back and listen to Ruth’s story from episode 75!
as always, consider yourself loved and hugged.
I think you are wonderful.
