MDH: Shameful. How did you find your agent in the end?

SLM: I got Farley Chase through a friendly acquaintance, now friend, who he represents. She had sent him 10 people before me, and he had said no to all of them, but he said yes to me pretty quickly. So, I was really fortunate that it worked out. He said he read the proposal and cried.

MDH. Wow. Well done on that book proposal!

SLM: Thanks. He’s been an amazing agent. He was expecting to get a really good deal really fast, because that’s what he does.
