The 100 Startup Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future by Chris Guillebeau (z-lib.org).epub

David Fugate
LaunchBooks Literary Agency
Encinitas, California
For  me  it  was  when  I  signed  a  big  client  after  flying  out  to  their
corporate  offices,  making  a  pitch,  and  getting  a  tour  of  the  grounds.
When I got the call from his marketing VP that they wanted to go with
me  over  a  couple  other  agents  they  had  met,  that  was  the  moment
when I knew LaunchBooks was going to work. Truth be told, I didn’t
even  know  that  I  had  any  doubts  about  it  working  before  that  call,
because  I  had  been  an  agent  for  more  than  twelve  years  already  and
knew  what  I  was  doing.  But  because  of  the  way  my  employment
worked  at  the  old  agency,  I  literally  had  to  leave  with  nothing—no
income stream whatsoever from the 1,000 books I had sold while I was
there—so I was literally starting from scratch. But when I got that call,
I had this enormous feeling of relief and excitement wash over me, and
I just absolutely knew it was going to work.
The funny thing was that the client ended up being an unbelievable
jerk and pulled out of his book deal over repeated problems with the
publisher. He didn’t like a mock cover that they put together and their
preference  that  he  actually  follow  the  proposal  we  had  sent  them  for
the content, so rather than trying to work anything out, he just decided
the publisher “didn’t get it” and pulled out. Then a little while later he
had  his  assistant  send  me  a  termination  letter  without  so  much  as  a
conversation, even though I had managed to generate a decent offer for
what was a brutally difficult book to sell.
It  didn’t  matter,  though.  I  still  had  that  first  moment  on  the  phone
and never looked back. I’ve since been on my own and selling books
for more than ten years.
