I'm tired of hearing older agents and editors lament the glorious bygone days of publishing and tell me, repeatedly, that "old publishing" is no more, and never will be again. "We have lost geniuses and no one will ever rise to their level again." 1/2

Yes, we may have lost some greats. That is what happens as time passes. But you are fools to think there is no genius or talent that just needs the opportunity to grow, to learn. Invest in your goddamn junior staff before they realize, they can do better. 2/2
