About Accepting New Clients

          At this point in my career I accept very few new clients.  That doesn't mean that I'm not looking for good books that I think will bring a substantial advance. If you need some help, drop me an e-mail and explain your book in about 25 words.  Please don't overwrite.  If it's something I think I will enjoy working on I will request what I need.
