I probably sent out fewer books this year (I haven’t counted tbh) but also I did fewer IP deals this year. That was not by design—it just happens sometimes. I think a lot of my clients were busy doing their 2021 deals! As you’ll see below, too, I think the genres I sold had something to do with this. This year I worked smarter, not harder.
