Submit That Book! (July Bonus)

Big news! My brand-new guidebook, Submit That Book! A Clear, Calm Guide to the Agent Gauntlet, is officially out in the world.

Submit That Book is a practical, no-nonsense guide to navigating the traditional publishing process. Drawing on more than two decades as a Big 5 editor, I walk through finding agents, querying strategically, handling rejection, and staying grounded during the long wait for “yes.”

My goal is always the same: to make publishing feel a little less mysterious and a lot more manageable.

1. Paid subscribers
Thank you. ❤️ Your free download link is waiting for you at the bottom of this email.

2. Thinking about upgrading?
Paid subscribers receive every new guidebook automatically, along with weekly Editor's Notes, access to a private chat, and other exclusive publishing resources. If you'd like to join us, you can upgrade your subscription here.

3. Prefer to just buy this guide?
No problem! Submit That Book is available individually on Gumroad for $3.

My three other short guides are also available on their own …

• Get that Yes: Crafting Queries Agents Can’t Ignore,

• Sell that Story: A No-Stress Guide to Synopses That Shine, and

• Fix That Draft: A Professional Editor’s Method—Minus the Panic

… with more on the way.

My plan is to release a new guidebook every other month through the end of the year. By December, paid subscribers will have a complete library covering many of the trickiest parts of writing, revising, querying, and publishing.

Thank you, as always, for trusting me with your writing journey. Whether you’re revising your first novel or preparing your tenth for submission, I’m grateful you’re here—and I hope these guides make the road ahead feel a little clearer.

Warmly,
