Had the privilege of kicking off my new video series, The Manager Files, with my good friend @johnzaozirny.bsky.social who graciously and thoughtfully weighed in on everything from the shuttering of Coverfly to The Nicholl to the validity of query letters. Check it out!

Happy Black List Day to all who celebrate.

Most execs & agents don’t want to read anything they don’t have to.

So the trick is to figure out how to make them feel they have to.

matthew sweet has written some things that have moved me a great deal, but none quite like today’s update, in this specific week of this particular year. certainly if you know his music, but even if you only know his name, even a little, it is worth your time to read. i promise. gofund.me/4e2cf86a

#BlackList2024 arrives Tuesday, December 10th at 9AM PT. Follow us on Threads and Bluesky.
