There may be hundreds of literary agents working today, but:

• No other agent has eighteen years of prior experience as an executive editor with Random House, Villard, Hyperion and HarperCollins, creating and marketing fifteen bestsellers.
• No other agent has written three books of his own and ghosted many more, including titles by Andy Warhol, Roseanne Barr and John Lennon.
• No other agent has edited a range of luminaries such as Orson Welles, Martina Navratilova, Quentin Tarantino, Henry Rollins, Carlos Castaneda, Rita Mae Brown, Philip Glass and David Lynch.
