Basically I'm assuming he doesn't know what he's talking about, which is supported by the history of publishing Clark: the thesis is sound, the topic not overly written about elsewhere, the book has plenty of color me: yeah, no shit me: that's why a publisher commissioned it in first place me: but some of these agents me: just don't understand me: what I have in terms of marketing me: which is unprecedented Clark: you have range of voices,so to speak, that you use in your writing, so if someone is put off by the persona you utilize, you can certainly alter that me: when a bestselling novelist champions a work that should tell the agent something me: the fact that I'm going to be speaking at this event and that I now write for all these publications at age 29 should be enough for anyone who wants to make money me: okay, heading home, got to get ready for this hunting party, all the South Africans are in town for convention me: I'll further introduce you to Nikki soon, she's taking over my affairs Clark: i am pretty jaded, i thought it was lively reading, so I would sure urge you to persist, but if someone offers a concrete objection to something, consider a rewrite Clark: sending you an e-mail related to the rally, you can read it later
