Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions!When Neely Tubati-Alexander started working on her first novel (Love Buzz; HarperPerennial, May 2023), she wished someone could give her a straightforward understanding of the steps she'd need to take, from writing her first draft to properly querying agents to getting that often-sought-after publishing deal.  In this episode of the Write the Damn Book Already podcast, she illuminates the path from draft to deal---at least the one she took---so that other aspiring authors have more of an understanding of what to expect, what to avoid, and how to keep going when things seem go awry.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSThe #1 way to piss off a literary agent (don't worry, it’s easy to avoid).Should you have a manuscript edited (and to what degree) before querying a literary agent?How to develop a strong query plan (and choose the best agents to query for your book).The 3 most important things to know about your book before querying a literary agent.What agents and editors look for beyond a great book.The submissions process from agent to acquisitions editors. ABOUT NEELY TUBATI-ALEXA🗞️ The Damn Good "Can't Stop Writing" FormulaGrab the free nonfiction or memoir kickstart that's helped hundreds of authors get out of their heads and into the flow: 👉 https://www.publishaprofitablebook.com/chapterone ✍️ You've Been Thinking About This Book Forever.
