I had lunch with my agent on Friday to discuss my non-fiction project “Nonsanto.”
For the past few months I’ve been working with her on the proposal, which consists of a nine page introduction and discussion of my platform, a five page chapter outline, and an eighteen page sample chapter. It’s actually been ready for weeks, but by the time we were ready to show it everyone in the biz was either out of town, or preparing to leave for vacation. My agent decided (and I of course agreed with her) that it made sense to wait until everyone was back at their desks after the Labor Day weekend.
So she’s sending it out today. She’s pitching it as Michael Pollan meets “Julie & Julia,” which is really flattering. Up until now I was able to maintain a wait-and-see attitude, but that wise stance has officially been replaced with excited anticipation. It will probably be a few weeks, if not more, before we know what will happen with the project, but I’ll tell you, it sure is great to have someone on my side who believes in the project as much as I do.
Fingers crossed.
