Some things, I must say, I don’t want to hear about. If you have a hot new book idea that’s a guaranteed blockbuster, but you don’t have time to write it, don’t tell me. I’m sure it’s a great idea, but I have plenty of my own to work on, and while I’d be flattered at your generosity in splitting the proceeds, you would in the long run be better served by finding the time and writing it yourself. Likewise, I don’t want to see your new manuscript unless you have sold it and want a blurb or you wish to pay me to go over it. We can discuss fees, then. And just so there be no misunderstanding, I’m in a relationship, thank you, so any propositions that might concern matters along those lines, try eHarmony.
