Dear Oprah,

Do you believe in synchronicity? Well, I do! Here’s why:

I just this week got a new job--I’ve become a literary agent. And just today, I found out you’re starting your book club again--AND--you’re going to read books by contemporary writers!

I know, I know--you’re thinking, “What’s a puny neighborhood grocer-turned-literary agent contacting ME for--the richest, most powerful woman on the planet?” And that’s what I’d think if I were you too. Except for one thing, which is:

Have I got a book for YOU!

My client wrote The Book of Bob, and it’s got everything--it’s got a whole cast of loveable characters like Bob, who talks to God and calls Him “Dad,” Sophia Wise whose lifelong goal is to cover her body with tattoos, and Roland Brand who’s kind of like Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Jim Jones, and Elvis rolled into one.

The Book of Bob even has a guy who seems like Our President. His name is Delbert Thorne and he’s the Chosen Leader of the Free Nation. He’s got an enormous--whoops! I don’t want to give away the story. But it’s funny how he’s always having trouble finding a Secretary of Religion. Sort of like Our President trying to find somebody to run FEMA.

Anyway, you’re going to love this book! It’s right up your alley! After you read it, do you think you could make it your Book of the Month? Also, do you think you could have my client on your show sometime when Britney Spears is on, too? I’m a huge fan. I’d love to meet her!

Sincerely,

Carl Estrada
Literary Agent
