    How Much Does It Cost to Publish a Book? | Episode 20
    Jan 20 2026
    On this episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, Debra Eckerling answers the question, “How much does it cost to publish a book?” In traditional publishing, the answer is, “nothing.” You don’t pay a publisher; they pay you. If someone is asking you to spend tens of thousands of dollars to publish your book, that’s typically hybrid publishing, which is pay-to-play. You’re paying for editing, design, production, distribution, and other services … and those costs can add up. Especially since hybrid publishing often comes with expensive upsells, such as marketing packages. And it does not offer the same reach, credibility, and long-term positioning as traditional publishing. Debra believes that an author is better off investing in services that make their manuscript better - and their book proposal saleable - so they get a traditional book deal. In traditional publishing, you are not paying to be published. You are doing the work upfront to make sure your book proposal is strategic, market-ready, and compelling—and that your manuscript is professional, polished, and positioned for success.

  • When Should I Gather Media for My Book Proposal? | Episode 19

    When Should I Gather Media for My Book Proposal? | Episode 19
    Jan 13 2026
    On this episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, Debra Eckerling answers the question, “When should I gather media for my book proposal?” The short answer is: yesterday. As soon as you start working on a nonfiction book, you need to begin building your visibility through media. One of the best things about working on a book proposal is that you can work on multiple sections in tandem. While you are figuring out the concept and the actual content of your book you can be working on the context section: your author platform, marketing ideas, and more. Media is a huge part of your author platform. In this episode you’ll discover why gathering media should begin early in your proposal process, how and why media fits into your author platform and proposal strategy, ways to get started, and why traditional media still matters. “You” are a big part of what sells your book. But you need to be out there and visible to show it *** Book Proposal Expert Debra Eckerling is the author of "Your Goal Guide" and "52 Secrets for Goal‑Setting and Goal‑Getting."

    How Do I Restart a Stalled Book Proposal? | Episode 18
    Jan 6 2026
    On this episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, Debra Eckerling answers the question, “How do I restart a stalled book proposal?” Whether your proposal got set aside after a break, was deprioritized under other work, or just felt stalled, it’s okay: things happen, life happens, and sometimes a project is simply “not yet.” Instead of being frustrated that it’s not finished, be proud that you’re ready to jump back in. Debra walks you through how to reconnect with your existing work without pressure, using directed journaling to surface clarity, and revisiting key sections (like your overview) with fresh eyes. She also shares practical tips like setting a regular writing schedule, tracking progress, and remaining in action with deadlines. Listen to the full episode to discover how to reignite your excitement and get back into the habit of working on your proposal. *** Book Proposal Expert Debra Eckerling is the author of "Your Goal Guide" and "52 Secrets for Goal‑Setting and Goal‑Getting."
