You’ve got a message to share and a manuscript to prove it. What’s your next step?

As a writer, there may come a point in your journey when you look at your work and say, “I think I’ve got a book here.” What comes next? Whether you’re just starting a book outline or you’ve written a full manuscript, this episode will help you determine what you need to do if you want a publisher to consider your work. Host Clarissa Moll shares the four people you need in your corner, and special guest, literary agent Rachelle Gardner, explains what makes publishers pause when they see your proposal come across their desk.
