book industry

Today is all about the book biz. Nicole covers (pun always intended) everything she wishes she knew when she was putting her first book deal together: from advances, to agents, to *achem* verrrry similarly titled books. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, consider Nicole extremely flattered. To help her on this demystifying mission, Nicole is joined by the lovely Bethanne Patrick, literary critic for The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, The Atlantic, NPR, and the host of the new podcast Missing Pages.
