“I wanted an agent who would actually sell stuff. After two British agents failed comprehensively, I was reading Locus (the SF field's trade journal) and noticed a press release about an experienced editor leaving her job to join an agent in setting up a new agency.

“One of my jobs was at a start-up ad agency. They were trying to do things differently, work with socially conscious clients, and to really be a more creative take on advertising than the industry itself.

I thought that was really counterintuitive - to only borrow inspiration from within your own industry.” TryingStillsInspirationJobsGuyCreativeIndustryOfficeConsciousAdvertisingAgencyAdsClients Author:Maria Popova
“This is sort of the epitome of the economic elite that is converging with a political elite. It's not only the banks and insurance companies. It's the war industry and private prisons. Certainly the fossil fuel agencies. It's not only that they're supporting this campaign, they're supporters of the Clinton Foundation. And where the Clinton Foundation ends and Hillary's [Clinton] political actions begin, that too is quite troubling.” WarEndsActionPoliticalCompanyEconomicIndustryFoundationPrisonClintonCampaignsAgencyFuelElitesSupporterFossilsFossil FuelInsurance CompaniesEpitomePolitical ActionPrivate Prisons Author:Jill Stein
