Truly, a pleasure my love. I've been meaning to share this for awhile. It was so helpful for me to have examples of other proposals when I was putting mine together. Hope it helps!!
Claire! Thanks for your generosity in sharing this. It helps me soo much right now. My book pitch is almost ready to go and yours gave me the needed last tweaks and inspo.
My questions for youuuuu 😍:
_did you sent out like it looks now in the template (plain text) or did you add something more designed already? I'm thinking about this and heard different things. One agent said they just want plain text, another one was not clear but said something like it's always good to stand out.
_how long did it take from book deal till publishing?
_how much of your book was written already when you handed in the pitch?
_did you hand it in to agents only or also publishing houses? How many people did you sent it too?
_can you share how much money you got from the book deal? I've heard so many different numbers already form 2.000€ up to 40.000€ (in my network) and then off course bestselling authors getting 6figure deals
_any agents/publishing houses immediately crossing your mind for a book about mental health+ menstrual cycle in the English speaking world? (Pitching it for German speaking region at the moment but also wanna go Englisch market)
_what was your writing routine like? How many months did you spent on writing? Any wisdom you'd tell your past self that was on the verge of writing her book?
Wow what an INCREDIBLE resource! So generous of you to share this Claire 💗

Fabulous questions Franzi, thank you!! Lots for me to work with here as I put the bonus Q&A together this week x
At what point do you start to “sell” your book idea? As an “idea”? Your finished book?
Hey Jen! Do you mean ‘sell’ to publishers or to your own audience?
