So they are pitching my book proposal upstairs next week... [View all]

I am working with Storey publishing - they approached me to write a book on tomatoes - going to co-write it with my daughter (she was the first in the family to get a book published - http://www.amazon.com/Madagascar-Travel-Companion-Sara-LeHoullier/dp/0982261950/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1341157826&sr=1-1&keywords=sara+lehoullier . She can instill discipline in me when I lack it (which happens on occasion!)....and also help with research. Also she's been through this already.

I worked with the editor that approached me to get a well worked out TOC - it went through the first hoop fine - and how it is pitch time to secure the contract - they tell me I will get one year to write it....

For those who've been through this, what can I expect? Risks/challenges? Frustrations? And what to expect if it all works out and it gets published?
