Betting on Myself: How Writing on Spec Landed a 3-Book Deal (and More!) 🚀 (Going on Submission—Epilogue Report)

Hello, my amazing Writer’s Edge crew!

It’s Jennifer Brody, back with a big, juicy update from the publishing trenches. You’ve been with me through the highs and lows of going on submission (shoutout to everyone who loved my 20 THINGS FOR WRITERS TO EXPECT ON SUBMISSION post!). Today, I’m thrilled to share a win that’s proof you should always take a chance on yourself: I landed a 3-book publishing deal with Podium Entertainment for my series, starting with A Sacrifice of Blood and Stars!

A while back, I took a leap and wrote A Sacrifice of Blood and Stars on spec—yep, no contract, no guarantee, just me and my story pouring our hearts onto the page. I went on submission, held my breath, and… drumroll… it paid off!
