Good News! By Farid Zadi

Dear readers 10 days after Charles Perry Los Angeles Times article about me came out (Tagine Dreams, January 2007) I was contacted by Endeavor Talent and Literary Agency. Shortly after I met with them and it was a wonderful meeting. Ivo Fischer and Brian Lipton were incredibly smart and they had spent time really thinking about my platform. They completely understood who I was and what I've been trying to accomplish. I was on cloud nine after I met with them.

Those of you who keep up with Publishing news know that Richard Abate, formerly of International Creative Management, is now the head of the literary department at Endeavor. I spoke with him last week and he told me my book proposal got it exactly right. So I'm really happy about that. I'll keep you posted.

And apologies once again for the delay in getting back to those who offered to test recipes or be test readers. Thank you again.

Wiki entry for Endeavor Agency. Fans of HBO's Entourage have heard references to them. They are considered to be in the top 5 (some say 3) agencies in Hollywood (some say the world). They are considered the most innovative, progressive agencies out there. I was considering other agencies, but they really blew me away during our first meeting. They were sharp. My friends who are with ICM or William Morris even told me that Endeavor was the best choice for me.
