Episode notes
How Book Advances Work
- A book advance is paid upfront and must be earned out by selling enough copies before additional royalties are made.
- Publishers rely on few successful titles covering losses from many lower-selling books.
Find Agents via Comparable Books
- When seeking a literary agent, research similar books' acknowledgments to find agents interested in your book's genre.
- Contact these agents and offer a clear, strategic book proposal.
Schedule Full Writing Days
- Dedicate full days to writing and editing rather than fitting it into small time pockets.
- Blocking out a regular weekly day improves focus and progress for book writing.
