So I sent in the first assignment for my new book deal today–the outline of the table of contents.
I was a little nervous as the editor specified she wanted the TOC as well as a summary for each chapter. My brain doesn’t work like that: I write extremely detailed outlines. (thanks, Mrs. Frere!) So I sent it in as it was, no summary, only detailed details with a note to the editor that I’d be glad to write an additional summary if she wanted (I wouldn’t be glad but the nice Beth made me say that).
The editor emailed back to let me know she’d gotten the TOC–and it was great. Gave me the go-ahead to work on the book as the TOC says and to send her an invoice for the work. Way cool.
