Wildly impressed … I say this as an agent, a marketing exec, all of it. I want people to work with you and see the incredible difference. The way you think feels like true partnership and out-of-the-box thinking in a way I have rarely seen in my years in publishing. Your firm has literally become the only one I would trust or ever recommend!!!!! It’s a pleasure to watch you work!!
