The Proposal

I have been at work on a proposal for writing a book of narrative non-fiction on the project. It's been interesting to stop trying to write pieces of the book and to move toward the big picture. It's actually been quite fun and enlightening. Nothing like trying to write your first book!

I am in the process of researching literary agents and trying to find a good match. There are some with whom I would love to work as I read their approach to being an agent. (If anyone can put in a good word with Sarah Jane Freymann...and yes, there are others but I digress.)

I am in the process of sending out query letters and will see what, if anything, happens next. And no, I have not written the book yet, at least not in its entirety. I have written enough to know I can write it and how I would continue to write it. So, that seemed like a good place to stop and focus on the book proposal.

Onward!

Good luck on your journey, Meredith! Big picture = GOOD! My experience is that when you take steps like this, versus being paralyzed in fear, miracles can happen. You go, girl!
