Another overly optimistic query to the book agent at SlushPile Hell reads in part: “My dog has written a book on how to be a success.” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Dog Wrote a Book”
Another query letter from the website SlushPileHell.
My dog has written a book on how to be a success. He already has 38 Twitter followers, which is proof that this concept is going to work. I haven’t seen anything else like it in the bookstores. It will be a huge hit. 38 Twitter followers. Amazing. Of the dog.
In all seriousness, though, when I was doing reviews of manuscripts, people would talk about their Twitter followers. And they would always be this terribly low number. And really, if you’re not talking the tens of thousands, at least, you don’t really have an audience.
Well, 38 is a start. You don’t have a big enough… for a dog. Are the other dogs, though? Oh, that’s true. I bet there’s some cats pretending to be dogs. That’s right.
