I'm just getting started, so YIKES! Thank you very much for the information. I have finished book one and am on book two. I knew that the Book Proposal was important (still working on mine for the 1st book), but this makes it even more intimidating to get it right! This is crazy! I’m just getting started, so YIKES!

The waiting isn't fun, but it keeps getting pushed back. I really hope everybody's in a super, super good mood when my manuscript finally gets there. :) I LOVE this post, since my manuscript has been awaiting pub board for several months now.

There were several times prior to my recent three-book deal where my agent would tell me we'd made it to the editorial board or pub board (only to get shot down). I never knew for sure what that process was like, so this is wonderful to see it broken down so clearly. Thank you! Tawna Terrific info, thanks!

I think my book is in stages 2 and 3 right now. Rachelle Gardner is my agent and got me through step one, the first editor. I knew more people would be looking at my book, but it's great to know more specifically what's happening. Thank you for such an informative post. Wow, this was just what I needed to hear!
