"In working with Sharlene as part of her ghostwriting "stable," I've discovered her to be one of the few agents who gives authors what they so desperately need: a clear, honest view of the publishing business and their prospects. She doesn't pull punches, gives authors the straight scoop, and is very selective about who she takes on. When she does take authors on, she goes to the mat for them and works to help them become the best they can be. She's tough-minded, shrewd, and skeptical, which are huge assets in this business. In an industry filled with spin and empty promises, Sharlene is a breath of fresh air."
