Writing Excuses 9.1: Chronology of a Book Deal with Eric James Stone

Published: Jan. 6, 2014, 3:24 a.m.

Happy New Year, and happy new season of Writing Excuses!
\n
\nEric James Stone joins us to talk about his latest book deal. These things are different for everyone, and the marketplace is changing so quickly that it's worth noting the differences and the similarities between our deal experiences (three of us were sitting on brand-new deals as of the recording of this podcast.)
\n
\nEric in particular walks us through the chronology of his current book deal, from the original writing, through the agent representation and multiple rejections and revisions, all the way to the current contract. Did Eric's Nebula win (for a different story) help this deal along a bit? Oh, it may very well have done exactly that.
