Thanks for scrolling all the way down. Here are bonus candid shots:
I organized a leadership conference chaired by the Peter Drucker in the 90s which required him to take a short flight from Claremont to San Francisco. Sorting through my papers not long ago, I found a peevish note from him because he had to change the flight ("I told you to wait to book the ticket") along with his original United Airlines First Class ticket, which I guess I never turned in for credit. (Sorry, former employer.) At the conference when asked about the biggest issue facing business, ever the contrarian, he replied, "the birth rate."
Editor, agent and author meet up for coffee...I love that this photo captures something that happens everyday in publishing but also much more. Yes, the industry is overwhelmingly white but it's changing.
With my client and dear friend Tara Parker-Pope. Okay we're not good at selfies but this photo captured a fun evening at Radio City Music Hall. In addition to seeing David Sedaris that night, the two of us over the years have geeked out at events with Stephen King, Tara Westover, JK Rowling, John Irving and Robert Caro. In a perfect world, authors would receive the same treatment as rock stars.
