encouraging about adapting an earlier proposal
Does the highlighted sentence mean that "apart from the book in the hand, the writer had got another proposal for another book that the publisher had not accepted it for publication. Susan Lawson who has helped him with the book in the hand has also encouraged him to change his old unaccepted proposal so that the publisher would accept that for publication too"?
Context:
My thanks go first and foremost to Susan Lawson, my former editor at I.B.Tauris, who believed in the proposal for this book from the beginning and was very supportive and engaged in pushing it along in its initial phases. In particular, she was encouraging about adapting an earlier proposal for another city book with which the publisher had not been so keen to run.

I believe it's implying that the adaptation of the earlier proposal resulted in the present book, so the two things are not quite as separate as your explanation suggests.
