Answering Your Publishing Questions: From Query to Book Deal to Publication
Manage episode 411263919 series 2641346
Marissa and Joanne get together to answer listener-submitted questions about publishing, getting into nitty gritty details of what it’s like to be a published author. Also covered in this jam-packed episode: word count guidelines, what happens after signing with an agent, the submission process, what it’s like to break up with an agent, advances and how they’re determined and paid out, who has the control of what in publishing, marketing, building a social media presence – and is it really necessary – and so much more. Also—what it was like for Marissa and Joanne when they each got “the call”.
