Getting An Agent, Writing Our Proposal, & Landing A Book Deal
We promised you guys a post all about the whole book-deal process back in March (when we spilled the beans about our upcoming book here). And the only reason I can think of that it has taken us this long to write is because we've been so busy actually writing our 260+ page book behind the scenes along with juggling the bambino and the blog and all of the projects that go along with those things. Haha. So forgive us for the delay. Many of you guys expressed an interest in how it all went down (a few years ago we never would have known how to navigate the waters of book proposals and agents and potential publishers to somehow "land" a book deal), so we're happy to share. Here's how it all happened, in bullet form (with photos of Burger acting out our emotions, naturally):
- About two years ago (after blogging for about two years) we were contacted by a few agents & independent publishers about a potential book deal.
- We went crazy for the idea (we love to write and share our projects). We basically did this.
- We chatted with John's sister about the folks who contacted us (she works in NYC with a large magazine publisher – so although she doesn't do books she knows who's who for the most part).
- She gently explained that they were a bit less "legit" than some other folks that we could potentially work with if we held out, so we decided to just wait and see what happened.
- We sort of forgot about it.
- About six months later (a year and a half ago), we were contacted by a NY/Boston literary agency (Zachary Shuster Harmsworth) – so we asked John's sister about them and she got really giddy and said they were highly recommended (their agency just emailed us out of the blue asking if we would like to pursue a book).
- Uh… yes! We got excited. And naturally, we dove right in.
- We immediately started working with an agent to put together a book proposal (this is what they send out to potential publishers to "shop" around a book idea and see who's interested).
- A proposal is typically 70-150 pages, so it takes a while to put together. The process starts with a book outline and you write an intro and a conclusion and explain why your book would be different/fun/exciting. You basically plead your case.
- It took us a year to complete our book proposal. Not lying. It was a ton of work! And we kept tweaking things until we loved it (no sense in pitching a book that you're only feeling so-so about, so we took our time developing something that we thought was fun and fresh and exciting).
- After a year of work on that 100-ish page document we got to a place where our agent thought it was time to send it out. So she did.
- Then she had a baby. So another agent took over after the "pitching" process. That was a little nerve-wracking but it was such an exciting time so we tried to just remember to breathe and eat and stuff. This was our nervous face:
- It turned out that after our literary agency pitched our proposal to about twenty publishing houses, seven of them were interested in bidding on our book. We were crossing our fingers for one or two (which we heard was typical – hey, you only need one!) so it was an insanely exciting and unbelievable reaction. We still get glassy-eyed when we think about that day.
- After publishers indicate that they're interested, there's an "auction" (yes, it's sort of like ebay – haha) and they each extend a bid about what they want to do/pay (everything from a book advance to royalties is indicated in their bid along with where they "see" the book going – so one publishing house might indicate that they see a giant expensive coffee table book while another wants a smaller less expensive handbook).
- It was super helpful to learn which publishers wanted to do big expensive books and which ones were more of a small shop atmosphere who do a more customized look at a more affordable price point while believing in a lot of collaboration (obviously that type appealed to us a lot more).
- By the end of auction day our heads were spinning as we compared the offers and picked a publisher. Our pick? Artisan/Workman. Workman is a huge publisher who is known for all sorts of best-selling books (like What To Expect When You're Expecting) – but Artisan is their smaller boutique agency that manages a much smaller volume of books per year in a real hands-on way that's full of collaboration. They understood that we didn't want to create a giant $50 coffee table book and that we just wanted something fresh, fun, and affordable – and full of great ideas and great photos.
- They actually offered us a two-book deal, which is especially encouraging because they were saying "we have faith even before your first book comes out that it'll be great and we'll want to do a second book with you" – so yeah, we were over the moon. We have no idea what the second book will be about (since we didn't touch on that in the proposal) so it's nice and open-ended now. Which we like (who knows what we'll want to write about after the first book comes out).
- About eight months ago we all signed on the dotted line to make things official (which is actually when we shared the book deal news with you guys – we couldn't wait!). Then we… you guessed it… dove right into writing the actual book.
- After about seven months of nearly nonstop writing (behind the scenes while we continued to blog and love on Clara), we handed in our 100+ page manuscript outline, which felt pretty darn good. Although it's around 120 pages now, when the tutorials and photos are added it should hit the 260+ page mark. This momentous hand-in day was over a month ago. We're currently gearing up for the photography stage (working on the book's layout, fleshing out all the tutorials, and beginning to secretly complete and shoot hundreds of projects with a pro photographer).
- We're also coordinating with a few other guest bloggers who we'd love to feature (you know we love to share the love slash eye candy).
- Let's just say we completely understand why the title of "author" is a full time job. It has been kind of crazy being stay at home parents to Clara, keeping up with the blog and the projects that we share, all while writing a book and doing secret projects for the book behind the scenes. But we couldn't be more excited to see how it all turns out! And when we're done we'll probably sleep for at least five days straight.
- The book is slated for release in the fall of 2012 (although there are occasional murmurings of the spring of 2013). Isn't it amazing how much longer books take to make than blog posts? Especially since most of the content is already completed and the release date is still a year (or more!) away. All that pro photography and layout and production stuff takes time though, and we're sure it'll be well worth the wait!
As for what our book is about, the concept is that it's an idea book. A giant compilation of over 250 ideas for showing your home some love (our tentative title is actually Spruce: 257 Ways To Show Your Home Some Love). The number might change as we continue to execute the projects that we have detailed in our manuscript (some might be awesome and lead to other ideas while some might fail – so it's flexible). We just want it to be a fun book that you can flip through to see tons of numbered ideas, and then you can start on any page and do any project in the order that it appeals to you. Informal just felt right to us, and the idea that every project or suggestion could be altered a bit (so everyone can do their own spin to fit their house and their style) seems fitting.
A decorating bible with explanations about boxpleats and start-to-finish home staging, it's not. It's more of a spark. A starting point. A junkload of ideas to pick and choose from and adapt to fit your home. Some are more involved, some are super easy. Some are free, some might be something that you have to save up for a little to take on. Basically it's the blog. Only a book. And instead of getting a post or two a day, you get 250+ ideas with photos and checklists and tutorials and illustrations (along with a lot of extra tips, sidebars, and commentary) and a little dorky humor a la us.
Oh and virtually all of the 250+ projects/photos/illustrations will be new for the book – so it's nothing regurgitated from YHL or anything. Some of the ideas might be the same (ex: paint a piece of furniture or reupholster a bench) but those general concepts had to be included – so we decided we'd execute them in a fresh way (instead of seeing the same bench that I painted three years ago for the blog, you might see a dresser painted in a completely different way that we secretly completed this winter). Sure it's extra work, but we really want the book to look fresh and be full of different "takes" on a ton of decorating ideas – both classic and unexpected (and pretty much everything in between).
So there it is. A big ol' rundown of the book process, what we've been up to, and how it all went down. I would definitely encourage anyone who is looking to be published to work with an agent (if they don't email you, I'd definitely try emailing them a proposal to see if they'd like to take on your project). Let's just say that I can name fifty times that having an agent to help navigate the contractual terms, timeline, and general process came to the rescue – so it's definitely something we probably couldn't have gone without.
Does anyone else out there have publishing tips to share with others who are hoping to get into author-ship? Has anyone actually tried to author a book in the past? Any self publishing experiences to share (we were too scared to go that route, but hear it can work too). As for book ideas, waaaay before John and I were bloggers we tried to write a proposal for a hilarious pet naming book (say the people who named their dog Hamburger) but after realizing how much work it was… it just sort of fizzled out. Maybe someday we'll give it another go. We owe it to Burger. Haha.

I can't wait until this book comes out. Do you think you guys will be doing a "book tour" and coming out to sign them? That'd be awesome.
How exciting! I'm especially pleased to hear it will be all new projects. It's disappointing to buy a book and have already seen everything (like on the author's TV show).
I'm so excited for you, and I'm so excited to read your book! Better not go til Spring 2013…I can't wait that long!
Congrats! So excited for you guys! I will definetly be buying a copy once it's released. YAY!

How great is this news. I can't wait to buy your book. Congratulations to you guys!
Wow! I had no idea the process took so long. When it's time to do your book signing tour (heck yes, you will!) you should coordinate with bloggers in the area to do a bit of house crashing, too. Congrats on this….next chapter. Oh, that was bad.
Oh how exciting ~ I can't wait :)
I promise, the minute it's published, I'll buy three copies! I've been reading your blog for years and I'd love to support your success. Good luck finishing it!
Congrats! Lookng forward to seeing it!
Wow, so exciting you guys. Have your publishers talked about a book tour at all once it is released? I can't imagine how you will fit all of that into the schedule! :)
So awesome! I bet it'll be so surreal to walk into a bookstore and see your book sitting on a shelf! I would be geeked! Heck, I'm geeked for you! I'll definitely be buying. And another book tour request? Don't forget about Ohio! Everyone else seems to… sadface.
I kind of love Burger's dive-right-in eating style. Dog after my own heart ;)
Congratulations, you guys!!
~Stop Me if You've Heard This One
I can't wait to buy my copy! Congrats on all the hard work you guys. You're my inspiration to get off the couch!
very exciting! can't wait until it comes out :)
Such a great post with an exciting update! I can't wait to see it! You guys have worked so hard and success is well deserved!! And since I am local, I KNOW you will have at least one local signing….RIGHT?!! You guys are right up there with Pioneer Woman now!! Doesn't that give you goosebumps!!!!???
love this post! Thanks for another peak into your book lives! Super excited for your book to come out next year. It'll definitely be on my Christmas list, if I can hold out that long! (I may just have to gobble it up myself)
You need to have a book release/signing in the RVA!
Wow! What a process. I'm so happy for you guys!! Can't wait for the book to be released.
Can't wait! It will definitely be on my 2013 Christmas list :)
Love it – and you guys are soo deserving with all of the hard work that youve put into everything. Looking forward to the tour!
I'm so excited for your book to come out. That will be a must buy for me. And I really like that you are using fresh stuff for it, I won't be able to put it down for weeks I am sure. :) You guys are insanely busy. I told my husband the other day that you would think having a blog would be easy work, but heck no…it's a constant challenge!
How exciting! I can't wait to pre order it! I'm so happy for you guys! If you guys do a book tour make sure Houston is on your list. Just not during the summer though it's killer hot here, ha. Congrats YHL!! :)
Dear Burger – thank you for the pics; they illustrate various parts of this post beautifully :-P
p.s. I joined the 'I had a dream about YHL' club! You guys were my neighbors, Burger was running around my yard, and John came running after him. Sherry and Clara were hanging out at home. There was also a part about bamboo blinds – go figure.
CAN'T WAIT!!! I also hope you do a book tour, but I have no qualms about driving to Richmond if need be! :)

Could 'Taxmageddon' Crisis Create Compromise?
Originally published on Sat June 9, 2012 6:35 pm

On Jan. 1, trillions of dollars in spending cuts and tax increases — called Taxmageddon — will take effect unless Congress and the White House can agree on a new plan. Many economists say the country will fall back into a recession if it happens. Former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin says Congress may actually be "forced to make a decision that affects taxes and spending."

OPP: Future Father-In-Law is Racist
by Slacker and Steve
posted Sep 4 2012 4:24PM
Today's OPP Comes from an unsigned listener:
"Dear Slack and Steve,
I am about to get married next year to my beautiful fiancee. I am a black male and she is a white female. I have a great job working with the government and about to graduate college. I take good care of her. Well when I proposed she told her dad and also informed him that I was black. He was so furious he basically cut her off. I've tried to reach out and offer to visit him but he refuses to meet me. My fiancee and her dad haven't talked in a year and I've been working hard to get them to reconnect. Well as if all the stuff i mentioned wasn't bad enough. He messages me on facebook offering me 25,000 dollars not to marry his daughter. I refused to take the money because I love my fiancee very much. My problem is do I tell her about this. I want her father and her to still have a relationship, but I also don't want to start my marriage with secrets. What should I do?"
Slacker thinks that if he had asked her dad first then this wouldn't be an issue. But bigger than that, what era is her dad from that race is even an issue. Regardless, Slacker doesn't think that he should tell his fiancee about this and he shouldn't take the money.
Steve says that this is the dad's problem and that they shouldn't shoulder it. He thinks that this guy should take the money and still marry the daughter. It's a cushion for them to start their life.
Should he tell her and solidify that her relationship with her family is done? Should he take the money and still marry her? What do you think this guy should do? What would you do?

Gallery: OMA and Artist Marina Abramović Team Up to Create the World's ...
The former theater in Hudson, New York will combine Abramović's pioneering spirit for performance art with OMA's expertise in designing theatres, museums and art-experiential venues. On the heels of a wildly successful performance exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, which included performances by the artist and reenactments by a cast of other performance artists, Abramović will be transferring that success into the new MAI center.
The building, purchased by Abramović, had become an indoor tennis court and warehouse after the theater closed. The building will be returned to the realm of the theater, centered around performance and perception, and create a parallel to make each visitor also a performer.
Since the MAI will be the first institution for performance, performance education and performance art research, OMA will help create new furniture and lighting concepts to enhance the viewing experience, particularly focused on visitors' comfort during longer performances. The furniture will include special massaging chairs on wheels, that will allow ushers to wheel out viewers to sanctioned areas, should they fall asleep during long performances.
Abramović herself is planning to raise most of the $15 million for the project, which is hoped to be completed by 2014.

This Could Be a Game-Changer: Inside Montevideo's Alma Historica Hotel
Last month – was it really so long ago? – we showed you the view from the rooftop terrace of the Alma Historica, Montevideo's newest hotel (it opened in January), and its first luxury boutique property. Appetites whetted? Hopefully so, because we promised to go inside. Let's do it.
The Alma Historica is a restoration of a centuries-old palazzo with a couple of new floors (and that roof terrace) tacked onto the top. Where most hotels in Montevideo seem to be either new and slightly boring, or old and on the road to decay – if, admittedly, often in a rather beautiful way – Alma Historica is different. It's embraced its roots, and its location on one of the historic core's central squares, so the vibe is old school, with a hint of Victoriana – but adds an injection of very modern luxury. And it works beautifully.
The feel may be that of stepping into a posh house 100 years ago, but the theme is Uruguayan pride. All rooms are named after homegrown heroes, from artists to footballers. All the furniture was sourced locally. Even the bathroom soaps are made in Montevideo – and filled with local ingredients, like eucalyptus, lemon and yerba mate (which makes the national tea-ish drink), and red berries with seeds.

Brussels' New Zoom Hotel is All About the Beer
Last time we checked in on Brussels, we were all about the beer bar at the new Zoom Hotel in Ixelles (up the hill from the medieval bit, but where all
we the cool kids go). 50 Belgian beers, selected by a top Belgian sommelier? Oui, s'il vous plait.
So obviously, when we were in Brussels last week, there was only one place we were going to stay. More on the hotel another time, but for now, here is the beer bar.
Yeah, it's not what we were expecting either. Discreet. Grown up. Who knew boozing could be like this?

Montevideo's Newest Hotel Has Killer Views from the Rooftop Hot Tub
Ignore the Simpsons-style clouds, and have a look at the architecture. Pretty nice, right? Even nicer when you consider where this is: the Ciudad Vieja of Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.
There aren't many hotels in the Ciudad Vieja, and there are even fewer with rooftop terraces. But this is the view from the Alma Historica Boutique Hotel, which opened a month ago in a historical mansion on Plaza Zabala, the tranquil, second square of the old town.

A Successful Sell: Inside Los Feliz's New Hotel Covell
Los Feliz has been a bonafide cool neighborhood in Los Angeles for quite some time. But the hipster 'hood east of Hollywood has never had a boutique hotel of its own. Until now.
Last week, the Hotel Covell opened its doors to its first guests and we have a feeling this place will rarely be empty.
For starters, there are just five rooms, created out of an old 1930s apartment building. But these are spectacular, residential-style rooms, envisioned and executed by interior designer Sally Breer and made possible by Dustin Lancaster, the restauranteur behind several popular Eastside spots like L&E Oyster Bar, El Condor, Highland Park Brewery and, his very first venture, Bar Covell, which is located below the hotel.
Each room was designed around a different chapter in one man's life--George Covell-- starting with his bachelor pad in Oklahoma and ending with his successful pied-ŕ-terre in New York that he shares with his French lover, Claudine, while their daughter Isabella has her own place/room downtown.
See the galleries below to see inside each room at Hotel Covell.

Don't All Freak Out at Once, But the Free WiFi Revolution Has Reached Monaco
Ah, Monaco, a place so ridiculously, frivolously expensive that most of the hotels expect you to pay for WiFi. Pay for WiFi? Well, not if you use their basic service, of course – but if you want something that does more than pull in a single email every hour or so, you usually have to pony up for a faster connection (notable exception: the Fairmont, which gives free WiFi to members of its Presidents Club).
So huge news from Monaco this week with the news that the Columbus has become the first Monegasque hotel to offer free, highspeed WiFi to all its guests and visitors. It's a 50MB connection, with an auto-login – so no annoying passwords to re-enter, and your login lasts a month, so if you only stay a night, you know where to hit up the bar for some work time.
And if you really can't believe that no hotel in an entire country has done this before,
then you haven't been to Monaco this is what they say:

Marcel Proust and Andy Warhol Have Already Tested the Waters at Paris' Latest Hotel
Every time we turn our heads away, a Paris hotel opens. Last week we had news of the ridiculously expensive La Réserve and the far more affordable Hilton Paris Opera; this week, we're salivating over the opening (or should that be reopening?) of the Hôtel Les Bains.
Once a public bathhouse, then a cult nightclub, Les Bains, in the Marais district, was built in 1885 as Les Bains Douches, and was initially the most famous thermal spa in Paris – Marcel Proust took the waters here! Fast forward to 1978, and Andy Warhol and his ilk were living it up in the baths-turned-nightclub (designed by the then unknown Philippe Starck), which became the Studio 54 of Paris. The club closed in 2011, when it became a full-immersion art installation and artists' residency. And now – draw breathe – it's about to be a hotel.

A Hospital Bed Costs More than Before, But At Least It Comes with Free Booze
Well, that didn't last long.
When we told you about the new hotel wing coming to London's private members' club The Hospital, we said that the Ł99 room rates were "almost unfathomable". And that has come to pass, because under a month in, the cheapest rate we can see is Ł123.75 – and that's for a small sleeper room. After that, prices leap, nay high-jump, to Ł180 and up - as far as Ł580 for the suite, which we assume is shown in these, new, pictures.
Although, to be fair, that's still not bad for London – especially if you're excited by access to the club that you wouldn't otherwise get.

Dijon's New Design Hotel Definitely Cuts the Mustard
Haussmann architecture. Modern interiors. Comfy beds for your fat little bodies. This is what's on offer at the new Vertigo Hotel which opens soon in France's culinary capital, Dijon.
If you don't know much about Dijon other than its mustard, know that it is one of France's most famous foodie places, with over 400 restaurants and so many listed buildings (100 hectares-worth) that it's one of the largest culturally protected areas in the country - ie, you probably want to go. The Vertigo – which has already signed up as a Design Hotels member - is in a 1926, Haussmann-style building on Place Darcy in the center of town, near the pedestrian area.

You Don't Have to Be a Banker to Stay at Istanbul's New Banker Han Hotel
Let's not let the sad news from yesterday put us off. Istanbul is one of the most wonderful cities in the world, and one of the best for the independent hotel scene. And when it comes to independent hotels, Karaköy is swiftly becoming the place to be.
The latest to hit the Bosphorus is the Banker Han, opening in April. It's a new sibling for the Sofa Hotel, a boutique joint in Nisantasi, and it's taking over a rundown street art centre, so it has cred on two counts, even without a website.

Inside and All Around the Rooms at the Dean Dublin
Fab amenities: check. Fantastic restaurant: check. But how do the rooms at the Dean Dublin measure up?
We stayed in a Punk Bunk - one of the smaller pod rooms, only with bunk beds. There's a double bed on the bottom, and a single on the top. The rooms are 12.6sqm. Yes, that's tiny – there's the bed area, a teeny desk area, and the fridge and minibar stuff in the corner. Then there's a narrow passageway taking you to the door and the bathroom. We had one big suitcase, and one small, and it was a squeeze.
But having said that, it was comfortable. Obscenely so. The enclosed bed was slightly too short for our 6ft frame, but the mattress was the comfiest we've slept on in months – strip-the-sheets-and-write-down-the-name comfy (King Koil Club Class, since you ask).

What's in the Bag at the Dean Dublin?
Hotel amenities. They can be crazy or sensible. They can be extravagant or parsimonious. But sometimes, they can be simple, sensible and also super-cool. Like at The Dean, Dublin's newest (and, probably, trendiest) hotel.
We checked into a pod-like Punk Bunk last week to be greeted with these three bags hanging up by the bed. Early Christmas stockings? Laundry bags with the last guest's stuff left over? Nope, amenities. A hairdryer. A clothes steam cleaner (in addition to the iron – pretty novel). And, the best one:

Hotel Figueroa to Suffer a Modern Makeover Next Year
File under things you already knew: Downtown LA is, apparently, the place to be. File under things you might not have known: Downtown LA has the best preserved pre-1950s buildings in the United States. Really! When you wander around like we did the other week, saying "Why, it's like Chicago, but better," it really is. Which is why we're sad to hear of the renovations coming up at one of its most historic hotels, the Figueroa.
This HC member only got her first glimpse of the Fig this month, but one foot in the door was enough to know it was true love*. The coffin-shaped pool. The Moroccan interiors. The belly dancers entertaining a Christmas party in the bar, while off duty cops ate in the kasbah-like lobby. It was like a film set. My god, this is what America is all about!

Karnataka High Court judge Huluvadi G. Ramesh stayed the operation of October 3 order passed by the Chancellor of Visvesvaraya Technological- University (VTU) removing H.N. Jagannatha Reddy and Prasad Raya Patty, both members of varsity's Executive Council.
The petitioners alleged that they were removed from the council when they declined to authorise the Vice-Chancellor for selecting persons to the posts of registrar and registrar (evaluation). They claimed that the Chancellor has no power to issue a show cause notice or terminate their nomination made to the Executive Council for a period of three years. The term of members cannot be cut short by "illegal" acts of the Vice-Chancellor, the petitioners claimed.

location decent sized rooms pretty good breakfast
Fairly noisy Horrible internet - repeatedly losing connection
We really enjoyed the convenience to the freeway as well as the Andersens Split Pea Restaurant! The room was so nice! So QUIET at night and in the morning a great BUFFET Breakfast FREE!
It was not convenient that the ONLY ICE MACHINE was located downstairs (we were in a room upstairs) and that you had to go through the front lobby, out the back door to the back side of the building JUST to get ice!
The biggest surprise was how good the restaurant was. The food was good, attractively presented, and reasonably priced. Otherwise, it was a very nice, Best Western hotel.
The facility was clean and attractive, but the building must have been old. Many of the electrical outlets were so worn a plug wouldn't stay in them.
Our bathroom door looked a little worn.
Large room, quiet, comfortable beds, decent bathroom, good location--convenient, breakfast included has pretty decent variety of foods and drinks.
lack of good restaurants nearby in the community--not the hotel's fault.
Ok for its rating and cost. It could use a little maintenance and touching up but overall quiet enough and a hood nights rest.
Vending machines out of order and the grounds wouldnt hold up to muster. The room had the smell of a converted smoking room but not too bad.
It's campus and setting plus it's room equipment of micro wave and refrigerator .
Wi-Fi was not working, and restaurant near by had bad food.
Location for traveling on I-5. It was fairly quiet.
Terrible water pressure. Just a drip from bathroom faucet made it difficult and time-consuming to shave... or wash face and hands! Took over 5 minutes for water in shower to get 'warm - NOT hot'. Carpet in room was filthy!
very clean, very easy parking
