Behind-the-Scenes of Publishing a Book (And also...I WROTE A BOOK!!!)

If you've ever wondered what it takes to get a book from inside a brain to on a bookshelf, you'll love this behind-the-scenes look at publishing a book. Erica is pulling back the curtain on signing with a literary agent (at her dream literary agency), writing a book proposal, and successfully pitching a book proposal to publishing houses to ultimately land a book deal (and a few rejections along the way). Whether you're curious about the publishing industry or just want to hear a personal perspective on this particular journey, here's a bit about what it took to bring That's Just Not True to life. Don't forget to pre-order Erica's brand new book, That's Just Not True: How to Replace the Lies you Didn't Know you Believed with God's Unchanging Truth, and redeem all of your preorder bonuses at ericagwynn.com/books.
