I talk to writers about their desire to get a traditional publishing house deal at least once a week. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this numerous times before.

It’ll take me an hour to explain the lay of the land, when and if it makes sense, and I can’t help thinking I sound like a broken record. Maybe that’s just me.

But I gotta tell you, nothing explains the process of getting a deal like my friend Lucinda’s new book, Get Signed.

Here is how the book is described, in part:

A step-by-step guide from a New York literary agent that will show you how to create a winning concept, craft an irresistible pitch, and land your dream book deal.

In this practical, immediately actionable guide, Lucinda Halpern, who has represented New York Times bestsellers and brokered numerous deals with major publishers for over a decade, divulges what agents look for in authors and the shortcuts they use to get book deals but have never revealed—until now.

Lucinda has personally helped hundreds of writers and entrepreneurs launch timeless, best-selling books. But the path to literary success begins with knowing the answers to questions like:

How do I make my book idea marketable to agents and publishers?
What essential ingredients should my book pitch possess?
What common pitfalls and errors should I avoid?
How do I find a reputable agent who shares my vision?
What can I do if I’m getting rejected by agents and publishers?

Lucinda and I got down and dirty about what this book has done to her business in just one month, how she spots the trends that make acquisitions editors throw money at her clients, why she decided to share trade secrets when no other agent has done so before, and so much more. Thirty minutes well spent, if you ask me.
