The Book Deal

Many authors I’ve worked with have written books that promoted and enhanced their professional lives. Some have written a book precisely with this hope in mind: to advertise their special skills and passions. Other writers have enjoyed the surprise of being propelled in their careers with major elevations of their workaday status and financial potential. “Writing books literally changed my life,” says author Michele Borba. http://www.alanrinzler.com/blog/

Janet Reid, Literary Agent

A couple years ago I walked the BEA show floor with my good friend Barbara. At that time she was the photographer who did the still shots for Project Runway . I knew Project Runway was a cable TV show, but that was about it. At one point we bumped up against a large, stationary crowd and overheard a woman say "Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to meet Tim Gunn!" Barb's ears perked up. She hadn't known Tim Gunn was going to be at BEA or that his book was soon to be published. http://jetreidliterary.blogspot.com/search/label/a%20short%20list%20of%20people%20I%20respect%20a%20whole%20lot
