Below is a picture of the world’s largest single fireworks shell before it is fired into the sky.

I can honestly say it has been a blessing to have the opportunity to serve the industry and our authors in this capacity. It is stunning to realize we have secured contracts for over 1,000 books.

Periodically I like to peel back the curtain on what we do as literary agents because for many it remains a mystery or as a job that is unnecessary. I love my job.
