So many writers dream of getting a traditional book deal—but the process to get there can feel confusing, overwhelming, and totally out of reach.
In this episode, I’m giving you a bird’s-eye view of the entire traditional publishing journey—from that first spark of a novel idea to the moment you finally see your book on the shelf.
We’ll talk about what really goes into landing a literary agent, what happens once you’ve signed with one, and why it’s never too early to start thinking like a published author.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✨ What traditional publishing actually looks like (and why it takes years—not months).
✨ The 15-step journey from novel idea to bookstore shelf.
✨ How a book coach, critique group, or developmental editor fits into the process.
✨ Why you should start thinking about querying before your novel is even finished.
✨ How to handle rejection without losing momentum—or your mind.
Whether you're just starting your novel or you're already on your second revision, this episode will help you understand the traditional publishing path so you can walk it with confidence.
