"Pride comes from a place of real acknowledgment that somebody's actually living their life for themselves, and I want to be that example for my son."

Previous Quote

In researching literary agents I did what the books tell you to do: I looked at the acknowledgments page of a book that was similar to mine. Happily, that author thanked his agent. I looked up the agent on the web and found out that he not only represented authors writing books similar to mine, but I knew some of his clients! So, I sent in the manuscript, and they decided to represent it.
