I’m back from my book-writing break and ready to talk shop! In this episode I answer listener questions about the process of pitching your book idea to an agent or publisher, including:
-How long should I expect it to take to hear back from an agent after I query them?
-What questions should I ask a potential agent before I sign?
-How hands-on should I expect my agent to be in the proposal process?
-What size audience/readership will an agent or editor be looking for in an author?
And more! Look back next week for the follow-up episode: what it’s like to actually write the book once contract is in hand!
