We now open our mail with gloves and mask, though I can't imagine why anyone would target a literary agency!

We are forced by the major publishers to include electronic rights in the contracts we make with publishers for new books. And there's very little we can do about that.

You have to remember that in addition to running a literary agency, I am also an ebook publisher.

Again, we turn down most books that have been self-published unless they have a special track record. We have taken a small number on, however, and sold them to major publishers for a nice sum. But that is an exception to the rule.

Blockchain is really exciting technology because it's actually providing both transparency but also agility in a contractual relationship that any organization should have.

I have to be natural and not doing anything fake, not lying on social media, in interviews and life.

When you build a product, you make a lot of assumptions about the state of the art of technology, the best business practices, and potential customer usage/behavior.

The recent fascination, I think, reflects the shift in approach by law enforcement officials to embrace technology as wholeheartedly as the rest of the world.
