As I was negotiating my newest book- I added some travel and a higher price. At this point I figured I had nothing to lose and you never know unless you ask.
I got the higher price without so much as blink and while I did not get exactly the trip I asked for, I did get a trip. They would have never offered it unless I had asked and so my suggestion to you new and seasoned writers is do not be afraid. The worst they can say is “no”. Think through it first and do not ask for the moon. You will have a gut feeling if the timing is right, but if it is – go for it. I am really glad I did.
