I'm so embarrassed by how amazingly overdue this note is, but I'm finally getting around to saying how lovely it was to meet you at the SW get-together in Tribeca! I've thought about your project so often -- I hope you're having great luck with it. And if you could use the name of another non-fiction agent, i'd be happy to pass mine along.

Hope to see you at the NY salons when they start back up!

All best,
Michelle
