All the New AgentGenius Writers


Dear (Your Name Here),

Welcome!  By the time I realized how many nice people had arrived that I have not said hello to yet I thought to myself (this is who I usually “think to”), “How far back do I go with this welcoming business?”  In the last few weeks this was really starting to pile up and then the past few days made made the past few weeks seem like nothing.

If I have not said hi to you yet, I not only want to personally welcome, (your name here) but to tell you, (your name here), you will have a lot of fun writing on AG. 

Also, if you are a writer and arrive on AgentGenius anytime between now and the end of the year, please realize I was anticipating your arrival, (your name here) and I was thinking of you when I wrote this post.

For those who have already arrived (nice concept, huh?:-), looking forward to working together.

    Is the photo a shot of extras on the set of Law & Order? Although this doesn’t look like it’s on the court house steps, it sure looks like Sam Waterston in the red jacket…

    Classic Russell – now why didn’t I think of that? Which reminds me, I need to go welcome a few people.

    Leave it to Russell Shaw to invent the drip blog post.

    It’s probably easiest to just welcome everyone on this post rather than try and go through all of the intros.

    So, welcome.

    Russell – see you this week.

    Why is it that as soon as I saw the photo and caption I knew this was going to be a “Russell Shaw” post? LOL….
