208. Preparing Your Option Proposal
from The Author Burnout Cure · host Isabel Sterling
After you’ve sold your debut novel, you unlock a new process in publishing: selling a novel on proposal. This most commonly happens as part of the option clause on your contract, and it’s a time in your career that can come with a host of questions, fears, and anxieties. So today on the podcast, I’m breaking down what goes into a fiction proposal and how to navigate the different layers of uncertainty as you try to sell a book you haven’t fully written. *** Ready to let go of burnout, build confidence, and put fun back into your fiction career?
