I wanted to share this. There are very very few times I can feel pride in my clients. This young man, Kyle Chais, is a former client from my agency. He is 19 and published the first thing he wrote 6 months ago at 18.

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."

And thanks Linna, Ali and Sarge. I will pass along the encouragement when I see him next. He is going to Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn.
