A Message From Our Founder

Here’s a phi­los­o­phy you don’t hear very often in this indus­try: Help peo­ple get their foot in the door. For some rea­son, there’s this idea in pub­lish­ing that any agents who care enough about peo­ple to nur­ture and men­tor them are some­how “unethical.”

That’s just wrong.

It’s wrong because every suc­cess­ful author or speaker got a help­ing hand from a guide, men­tor, book or friend. Every­one was once a begin­ner, whether they were learn­ing to write their ABCs or the lat­est New York Times best seller. This site is about offer­ing that help­ing hand to YOU as an emerg­ing author or speaker. You can’t get any­where in the pub­lish­ing or speak­ing indus­tries with­out a “plat­form” — which is a short­hand way of say­ing, “proof that lots of peo­ple are pay­ing atten­tion to your message.”
