The Process of Getting a Book Deal: Advice from an Agent

The Process of Getting a Book Deal: Advice from an Agent

I talk to writers about their desire to get a traditional publishing house deal at least once a week. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this numerous times before.

It’ll take me an hour to explain the lay of the land, when and if it makes sense, and I can’t help thinking I sound like a broken record. Maybe that’s just me.

But I gotta tell you, nothing explains the process of getting a deal like my friend Lucinda’s new book, Get Signed.

Here is how the book is described, in part:

A step-by-step guide from a New York literary agent that will show you how to create a winning concept, craft an irresistible pitch, and land your dream book deal.

Lucinda and I got down and dirty about what this book has done to her business in just one month, how she spots the trends that make acquisitions editors throw money at her clients, why she decided to share trade secrets when no other agent has done so before, and so much more. Thirty minutes well spent, if you ask me.

Grab a copy of Get Signed.

And snag Lucinda’s free trainings.

P.S. ?If you'd like to minimize the risk of heading down the wrong road with your book, given the outcome you're after, an hour-long conversation with me is just what you need. You can learn all about this offering by going?HERE
