Congrats Christine, that is amazing news. Your book on the bookshelves What was the buying process like with the publisher? Did you have an agent? Did you laugh at their inital offer of a $500,000 advance and then watch them cave in to your demand for $1 million?  Also -- how long from when you started writing the book until you received an offer? What's the book about -- is your query letter posted anywhere? If you don't mind sharing, I'm curious about the details. |

Did you laugh at their inital offer of a $500,000 advance and then watch them cave in to your demand for $1 million? Yep - I am repped by the fantastic Krista Goering. My success story WAS on Query Tracker - but when I looked today, it wasn't there - not sure why.Also -- how long from when you started writing the book until you received an offer? With Nonfition, you write a proposal but do not need to have the book finished. The entire process from proposal query to my agent, to signed book deal was just under 4 months. I finished the book in that time as well - so I am working ith my editor on edits now.What's the book about -- is your query letter posted anywhere? The book is a parenting book about the social and emotional needs of gifted children. And like I said, the query "was" on QTIf you don't mind sharing, I'm curious about the details. |
