I've made lifestyle changes to support recovery. I don't eat at restaurants that feel more like a bar with booths than a grill. My two meetings a week are on my palm PDA every week forever, so I don't end up skipping meetings because of a schedule conflict. I pass up a lot of potential arguments because the disease thrives on chaos and conflict. As much as I love many things in the "real world," I love the world of spirituality and sobriety more. AA's Big Book (p.84) says, "We have entered the world of the spirit." It also says, "We have ceased fighting anything or anyone--even alcohol," and "love and tolerance of others is our code." In sobriety, I've developed a very fine lifestyle, but my recovery is non-negotiable, and everything else must give way.

In a nutshell, I negotiate deals and contracts on a flat fee basis for my clients at any stage after an initial offer from a publisher. The people who tend to find me useful are the authors who have got themselves offers for publication and who, having got such offers are reluctant to pay an agent a percentage of current and future income. However, because I have been a contracts manager and agent with a major literary agency ( A P Watt) I am very well placed to give a client the kind of deal and contract negotiation they would get from an agency. I%u2019m happy to throw a couple of hours%u2019 general post-contract advice in too, to keep clients company as they embark on their publishing adventure.
