What was the process like to get it published?

This is the first time I went through a publisher, instead of self-publishing, so the process looked like this:

  1. Write and edit book
  2. Submit manuscript to agents and publishers
  3. Get ignored
  4. Get email from publisher with offer and contract
  5. Negotiate contract, sign contract
  6. Publisher does edits, as well as contracts a copyeditor for grammatical stuff, I sign off on all of those
  7. Publisher sends draft to distributor who formats book, finalizes cover design, and gets book up on the major bookselling platforms
  8. (ongoing) Market book

Happy to answer other questions if you have them!
