Peter Buckman’s Substack

About the Substack

The Celebrity Effect is about my encounters with some flickers of fame, and what they did for my career as a writer, publisher, and literary agent.

About Peter Buckman

Young publisher, old literary agent, and full-time writer: my ongoing crime series, The Pumpernickel Mysteries, stars a poodle, a lawyer, a therapist, and a crime reporter, all veterans, all full of fizz.
