I have to say that I’m a firm believer in supporting causes I believe in. And I don’t download free music (that’s what friends are for). MediaBistro is great about providing cool information, a lot for free. Man, I really do sound like a shill for the man. Alas, I’m just a writer who understands how things work. So as part of their ongoing service, the Bistro offers the lowdown on pitching the Robert E. Shephard Agency. Specializing in narrative non-fiction, they’ve sold some interesting titles. If I weren’t so shamed about my lack of Scrabble competitiveness (but, hey, I have a good time), I’d query the poor man. Anyway, read the Bistro articles, learn a lot, and support your peers. Otherwise, you’ll have to learn cool stuff from me.
