From The Yellow Eyes of Crocodiles:
“It’s simple. You write the book and you get the money. I put
my name on it and talk it up on TV, the radio, the newspapers.
You produce the raw material and I pitch the product. I’ll
handle public relations, getting people talking, photo shoots
and author appearances. That’s all about how your hair and
your makeup look, and what you’re wearing. Having your
picture taken when you’re shopping, in your bathroom, under
the Eiffel Tower, whatever. All the things that have nothing to
do with the book but make it sell. I’m great at that stuff, and it
terrifies you. Together, the book will be a hit.”
