What happens after I accept an offer? When can I announce my book? What if I need more time on my edits? How do I run a preorder campaign?
Getting a book deal is the achievement of a lifelong dream. But after the champagne pops, the questions pour in. Even after all your research, navigating the publishing landscape can quickly feel overwhelming. Most existing resources focus on writing your manuscript and getting an agent, not on the nuts and bolts of what happens between receiving an offer and releasing your debut.
This book answers all the most common questions you have—or didn’t know you’d have—about your debut year. With examples and templates, logistical tips, walk-throughs of editorial processes, and more, It Depends is your practical guide to not just surviving your debut year, but putting your book out into the world as an informed and empowered author.
