No one likes it, apart from blind people, and I'm sure even they can sense it's profound ugliness as it passes by.

Except for a few small presses, most publishers are north of Ground Zero.

I have to declare in all candor that no one interested in being published in our time can afford to be so naive as to believe that a book will make it merely because it's good.

We are taking a business-as-usual position at my agency, though business before 9/11 wasn't that hot either!

You have to remember that in addition to running a literary agency, I am also an ebook publisher.

It seems to me there's so much more to the world than the average eye is allowed to see. I believe, if you look hard, there are more wonders in this universe than you could ever have dreamt of.

Most writers can write books faster than publishers can write checks.
