Just got a crash course in the publishing industry….

Found out the hard way
a) what First World Rights mean
b) how cool it is to have the best agent in the world
c) how cool it is to have the best colleagues—fuck, friends— in the world
d) how cool it is to have understanding editors at top drawer publications
e) how uncool it is not to know what’s going on if you want to make it in this business.
