I was just telling Samantha that my experience with an unknown book 3 is the same as it was for an unknown book 2 so I'd already gone through the prospect of being contracted for (and like the comfort of knowing the book has a home).<BR/><BR/>As for how the contract for the third book came about... the contract for the first two books isn't over yet, but once I'd turned in the rough draft of the second book my agent and editor talked and my editor made an offer. I didn't submit a proposal and I tend to compare it to the situation to multi-book deals where the second book is unknown.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully that made sense... :)Carrie Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198867176033112742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-83836255832997298922009-01-28T12:04:00.000-05:002009-01-28T12:04:00.000-05:00you are on a roll! congrads :)you are on a roll! congrads :)Shelli (srjohannes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17123227845032402600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-59500931424651346602009-01-28T09:30:00.000-05:002009-01-28T09:30:00.000-05:00Wow Carrie!-- congrats!It's so heartening to hear ...Wow Carrie!-- congrats!<BR/>It's so heartening to hear publishers ARE still buying books amid all the gloom and doom of the publishing world right now. <BR/>Way to go!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552074033087804381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-11929000742840348892009-01-28T08:54:00.000-05:002009-01-28T08:54:00.000-05:00Wait, am I reading the answer above wrong?

In the first deal it was a two book contract, so it was just a matter of finishing the contract. What spawned the second contract? <BR/><BR/>I assumed in most cases it would be a proposal for a third book.Patrick Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121337008453549441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-87137028957453656862009-01-28T04:02:00.000-05:002009-01-28T04:02:00.000-05:00YAY!

It happened the same way with the sequel to FHT -- they second book in the contract was unspecified and after people in house read the final draft they asked if I could write a sequel/companion. I actually like knowing there will be a home for what I write next and knowing that I can work with my editor from conception so I can be sure to write something she'll like! It's also nice to know that I have another year of full time writing - lol!Carrie Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198867176033112742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-33796722037122710372009-01-27T19:03:00.000-05:002009-01-27T19:03:00.000-05:00That's so exciting!
