Agent Adriann Ranta tweeted this earlier today. The post includes everything we've talked about in this forum the past few years, but also offers some perspective from a person who deals with NF proposals every day.

Feel free to start discussions or ask questions about this in a reply or start a new thread if you want.

This link is a fascinating read as are the two links she embedded on 'platform' and self-promotion.

I appreciate your taking the time to provide this, I hope it gets pinned or indexed on the site

Cheers!
