The Agency Delta

This lens was inspired by the good folks at Squidoo (namely Seth and Megan). They asked the question:

What would happen if every publicist or marketer at every imprint made a lens for every book he or she was publishing? Or the better question is, why wouldn't they?

I realized that the same question could be asked of books awaiting publication, like my own, The Agency Delta. So this is that lens.

Thank you, Seth and Megan.
