My Clients - An Appreciation
It's been a great month for several of my clients, with some awesome new sales, and a few I've yet to announce formally. A few of these clients are newer and their books went right on through, but several of them have been laboring with me for over a year, being patient, revising and trying again.
I've been excessively picky about who I've signed. I actually haven't requested all that much in the last month, and rejected most of it. They were good, but nothing got me all hot and bothered. (In the good way.) Nothing hitting the spot of what I'm looking for. But then I had a beer with a client on Tuesday, and he starts talking about his next book, and it's exactly something I've been wanting to see--and he had no idea.
This reminded me how much I love my clients. They write books that I can't stop telling people about. They know what it means to be in it for the long haul. They picked me (me!) to help shape their careers. I get excited when they send me something new to read because I know it'll be great--and right up my alley. All this and they happen to be an awesome group who I actually enjoy as people.
So, clients, thanks. You rock.
