Let me know when you've taken a look and let me know what you think about using this one for the excerpt. I've also pretty much finished up the introduction chapter, which is about six thousand words and which I'll share with you tomorrow after a bit of tweaking.

I shared the Friedman chapter with you last night but am about to change it up today and add in a big section, also make it funnier in general, so wait up a bit before using any of it for excerpts if you can; I should be done doing this in a couple hours.

I think giving them something about Friedman would be ideal--he's the biggest fish in the barrel, I think. We're looking for one long chapter (15-25 pages) or two shorter ones (~10 pages each). Whatever you think will showcase your writing style and give us the best chance of getting sales excited about it!Thanks!Rachel TrusheimExecutive Editor212.244.2084 ext. 111

Would you prefer to have several excerpts or a single chapter for the sales team?

If you send Sophia a pdf or word doc she will format it for the reps Sony e-readers. This will definitely help with the sell in.EK
