  • Should I Submit My Book Proposal in December? | Episode 17

    Should I Submit My Book Proposal in December? | Episode 17
    2025/12/02
    On the episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, Debra Eckerling answers the question, “Should I submit my book proposal in December?” The short answer is no. That's also the long answer. Unless you get a specific request for you book proposal, wait until after the holidays to send it out. In the publishing world, especially when it comes to acquisitions, everything winds down between Thanksgiving and New Years. Everyone is extra busy with holiday obligations while they're trying to wrap up the work year, or they're just taking time off. Anything you send now will likely stay in a publisher's inbox for at least a month, and it could even get lost in there, buried beneath new submissions that come in the beginning of January. There are plenty of things you can do in December to build up your book proposal, including building up your author platform and scheduling more speaking and press. You can also attend holiday parties, so you meet new people and expand your network. It is in your best interest to wait until the second week in January before sending a proposal out to agents or publishers. They’ll be back in the swing of things - relaxed, refreshed, and excited to read your proposal.

  • What Do I Put in My Author Bio? | Episode 16

    What Do I Put in My Author Bio? | Episode 16
    2025/11/25
    On the episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, Debra Eckerling answers the question, “What do I put in my author bio?” You need three versions of your bio for your book proposal. Two or three lines in the query letter, a short paragraph in the proposal’s overview, and a one- or two-page author bio with photo at the beginning of the promotion section. Whether or not your book is related to your day job or career, your author bio is all about leaning into your experience and expertise as it relates to the book you are writing. Start with the most relevant information - related to the topic, back it up with how people have been impacted by your knowledge/methodology/story. Also include any writing experience and basic info on your platform: website, social and traditional media, and appearances as a speaker. Conclude with some personal tidbits to make you more relatable. Add your personality and have fun with it! The more human you can make your bio, the more you put your best, most educated and enthusiastic foot forward on your subject, the better it will be for your book!
