Thanks, I'll definitely note that on the marketing section. I think I should have a pretty damned good case in terms of my ability to market it, between Project PM and you and Barry and other folks plus my outlets.

Oh, and also: that league piece was great.
I dont know ted but you can certainly tell him that you have someone interested in creating more content around the book here in LA (that would be me).Ted Weinstein out in San Francisco.

Who are you in to?
As per below, Barry Eisler has convinced me to withdraw my book from my current publisher (who's a douchebag and hasn't responded to my e-mails since June and probably doesn't even have the money to do the book properly) and take it to an agent, who' likes to first chapter and wants a short proposal, so doing that now.

Very glad to hear it, and thanks for keeping me posted. Also count me in for whatever I can do to help market the book.

Howdy again-
Ted seemed to like the chapter I sent him and asked me to call him, at which point we mostly talked about the marketing potential, which tends to be the limiting factor; I'm writing up a two-page proposal for him including a section on how I could ensure that the book is a hit. Thanks again for your help with this, and I'll keep you updated.
Good deal -- fingers crossed and keep me posted.

I just sent the first chapter off to Weinstein, thanks again for your help with this.
Barrett, congrats on getting the rights back. Yes, I know quite a few publishers and agents and I'd like to do whatever I can to help you get this published pronto. I'm going to make a few phone calls right now and will let you know what I hear.
