That's exactly it! Think of it this way, you could always write another book, and that one would not be so 'lavender'. Before you get really angry, and start throwing stones, I personally shredded several of my blood and tears based novels, before I produced something that I was happy with. Many authors go through that, or so I heard. Here's hoping, that my best efforts are good enough for the publishers... but if they aren't, guess what? I'll just write more. Until I get it right, or until I die.

Long story painfully short, it wasn't.<BR/><BR/>If this isn't a hoax, this is an author trying to show the agent how much he knows about the business of publishing. Market tests? Sure, we all do them--at critters or foreward motion or the crapometer. From what I've read, it's considered rude for an unpubbed author to shove their novel in a pubbed author's face and say "Please read this and tell me what you think," unless said author is already an acquaintance.<BR/><BR/>By trying to come off as business-savvy, this guy has just labeled himself as someone <I>nobody's</I> gonna want to work with. I can just imagine him phoning his agent three or four times a week and telling him how to do his job. Well, Mr. May-or-may-not-be-a-hoax, if you know as much about publishing as you want people to think (highly doubtful), why don't you sell the book yourself?<BR/><BR/>And if this is a hoax, bravo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1152816779087415462006-07-13T14:52:00.000-04:002006-07-13T14:52:00.000-04:00I love the bogus testimonials.
