Greetings:
I am a literary agent, and I attended the LA Times Book Fest last year. I enjoyed the Dime Stories readings, and I think they might make a good compilation in a book. I spoke to a couple of people and emailed someone (don’t recall who), to offer my services. No response.
Anyone interested? I will be at the Book Fest again this weekend, and would welcome an opportunity to meet and talk shop.
Let me know your thoughts.
Steve 🙂
