Welcome back to The Rebel Maker Podcast. In this episode we are picking up where we left off in the last solo episode and continue talking about traditional book publishing and self-publishing.
If you decide that traditional publishing is for you, today I walk you through the first steps to getting a publisher: creating a book proposal and finding an agent.
However, if you actually listened to everything and you’re either not ready for a traditional contract and what you want is to write your book, then I’m sharing with you the 4 things I tell my writers.
In this episode:
- [02:09] Going the traditional route: here’s all the parts of a book proposal
- [07:40] Tips on how to find an agent once the proposal is done
- [09:46] Getting the book out of you #1: write like you talk
- [12:09] Getting the book out of you #2: tips for the first draft
- [15:34] Getting the book out of you #3: the second draft and sending it to the editor
- [18:17] Getting the book out of you #4: polarize your audience
- [20:31] An exercise to have a sense of what the book you’re creating will look like

Noteworthy quote from this episode:
“Write to where you feel safe. Safe in your body. Safe and the story. By the way, if you are writing something that's triggering, please make sure you have some sort of a support person, make sure you're staying grounded.”
