When my publisher’s acquisitions editor responded positively to my query
I did something that I’d hoped would endear me. I asked if I could see a
previously-approved proposal. The request was not as brazen as you
might think. As I’d learned, they would rather show me something they
liked so I wouldn’t make a colossal blunder by sending them something
they would reject. Within a week I received a hard copy of a successful
proposal written two years earlier, and that book (a biography of actor
Warren Oates) coincidentally hit the store shelves a short time
thereafter.When my publisher’s acquisitions editor responded positively to my query I did something that I’d hoped would endear me. I asked if I could see a previously-approved proposal.
