Someone looking to set up a properly functioning CIA NOC program could do worse than start by reading this 1961 GRU analysis of pitfalls of civilian cover — some things are universal. @JMichaelWaller @NewshamGrant @leahfiles @zachsdorfman @wstrobel @ark_press cia.gov/resources/csi/studie…

Don’t give up, there are other paths. I landed my book with Ark Press without an agent, after first trying the Big Five route. First printing has sold out, second on the way. Good luck! @ark_press @tonydaniel777 @PassagePress @L0m3z
