    Pam-

    I hope you’re doing well and had a great weekend. It was great seeing you at Stephen Maitland-Lewis’ book signing at The Bistro Garden a couple months ago.

    My client, Matthew Shaffer is a celebrity choreographer and a published author whose debut book, “So You Want To Be A Dancer” recently launched at #1 in Amazon’s Performing Arts category.

    He can be seen in Netflix’s new series, “Wet Hot American Summer,” in July with Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper and Amy Poehler.

    Would you be interested in interviewing Matthew? He has such a spirited personality and you will LOVE him on the air! I can send you the book launch press release, Matthew’s bio, clips and photos for your website upon request.

    Thank you, Pam!
