The party of the first part enjoyed this blog post. The party of the second part requests a follow up in future.

"And they happen to be my favorite people in publishing." I would never have anticipated that! So cool, Richard. Your dialogue bit made me laugh, and gave a great insight into what it's really like, "Inside Agenting"!

Thanks, Dave. We're not completely adversaries. At the end of the day, agents and publishers are all in the business of helping each other help books we love.
