Before we get started I want to tell you about how great your team at David C Cook is. As you know I am not just a literary agent, I’m also a podcaster and I run a podcast production company. David C Cook is one of my clients. I had a bad case of baby brain and I under invoiced David C Cook and not only did you accountant catch it, she let me know so I could invoice the correct amount.
