The Happiest, Against-All-Odds Book Deal (For a Commenter!)
Sheila · 10/08/08 09:34AMHey, do you have a 1,000 page manuscript based on "Wagnerian opera, Lou Reedian post-punk, the philosophy of Schopenhauer, Jungian psychology, the life and death of cities, French aestheticism, the magic of memory, gay identity and—most importantly?—cats"? Hah, good luck selling that. But wait... what if a blind query to a big-deal William Morris agent resulted in the book getting sold? That's what happened to editor and commenter Matthew Gallaway, also known as the Gay Recluse.
