    Forget about finding a publisher. You think these publicly schooled gatekeepers are going to give you a chance? Dont make me laugh. You are lying to yourself and to the rest of us.

    No one is going to push your stuff as well as you will. Publish it yourself. Get a blog, market the thing yourself. If you need my help, you know how to get hold of me.

  3. Anyone can self-publish a book, the barrier to entry is essentially zero.

    A third party publisher is validation that the work is 'good' (even if it isn't). I think that is what SM is looking, validation that his work isn't shite. Ego.

  4. There's one thing you've got to know about me, I'm one seriously twisted wack job. Everywere I turn it's chics that are reading books, 90% of the market, I make the assumption then that most publicists and publishers are female. Schooled and arrogance worthy of royal blood.
    My little monster challenges there cor beliefs, can you imagine the facial expressions and the juicey spiteful rejection letters I will receive after stuff like this.

    Excerpt :

    I reluctantly accept a dance form a 300 pound beast of a woman, in my mind I was trying to figure out how to help her commit suicide but making it look like an accident so at least her kids are looked after. After the first step an unexpected fat girl hip pump, waves of gigulating fat starting from the canckles travel up her body and jettison her glasses like a missile access the room, only to knock down a drunkin, gay, African American dwarf.
    ...............

    You see it's the rejection letter that will be my gold.

    Some people collect stamps.

    Then I will make the rejection letters part of the book.

    Then spend a million self-promotion and publish myself.

  8. That picture looks eerily like Hunter S.

    You're right about women being the gatekeepers. It's the same with TV. Read Adam Corolla's "In 50 Years We'll All Be Chicks". Great book.
