Great blog, really helpful! I was wondering if you could recommend any pitfalls to avoid at this stage, that might not be obvious to an untrained eye?! I have managed to secure a book deal, without an agent, but want to make sure not to under-sell myself or the book. The whole area of what a first timer writer should ask for, advance wise, is hard to figure out!

I guess that's a good sign. Still, no offers yet and it's been 10 months. It's absolutely maddening. Is this normal?

I usually have the same conversation with my friends. They all wonder why I'm still in construction if I'm a writer. I try to tell them that it takes awhile to build up your readership and advances and royalties and…

All they hear is "Wah-wah-waaaaah."

Thanks, Rachelle! For someone new to your blog, I appreciate the information! This is wonderful.

My non-writing friends ask if I'll be a millionaire when I sell my book. Ha! I tell them it's not like Hollywood's portrayal of authors.

The only bad part is reading through this stuff gets me too excited and anxious to be at this point already 🙂 Thanks for walking us through this process anyway.

One of the things I found to be most difficult was refraining from shouting the news from the rooftops after I got "the call" telling me that the publisher had made an offer. Instead, you advised me to wait until the contract was actually signed before letting people know. I was so caught up in the moment that I forgot about the negotiations that were necessary before that piece of paper appeared in my mailbox. Thanks for calling it to everyone's attention.

I guess I thought this stage came with a *final* okay from the publisher, but it sounds like if you get there, you'll definately be offered some kind of contract?
