I've been thinking of asking a particular author for a quote, but I'm not sure what the protocol is for approaching someone with this kind of a request. What would you suggest?J.K.

I don't agree with the 'you wash my back, I'll wash your's', but then, I'm not published so I really can't say much about it.J.L.
