It will be the title with which Terry Gross confronts you after it has been been published by the next Press to which I send it and shoots to number one in the New York Times best seller’s list, before achieving the Man Booker Prize or the Nobel or whatever is more fashionable in your mind. Heed my words and publish it, or meet the fate of the 38 publishers who passed on Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Gone With The Wind!

Remember me!

If it is, it really lifts the veil behind the submission process. That said, I thought the comments were pretty mean spirited. Editors are entitled to their opinions and subjectivities but I don’t understand this need to make fun of submitters.

Werd.
