Snappy Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
So, what do you do? I'm a buyer for a cool independent bookstore. In my off-hours, I spend a lot of time reading children's books and teen books and procrastinating. I have lots of really cool friends who are writers, but I am pretty much a dork.
What's up with the Kiddie Lit? Don't you read any REAL books? Oh, Gosh no! In fact, I am practically illiterate and growed-up books make my brain hurty. Thanks for bringing it up, jerk.
Bookselling, that must be fun, you get to read all the time! When I'm not working! So no, not really.
Hey, will you read my manuscript / rough draft / collection of ideas on bar napkins / tarot cards? No. No I won't.
I need an agent / a publisher / someone to pay attention to me. HELP! I'm not the right person to ask. Good luck, and get the hell off my property.
I heard it was good 'self-marketing' to pester booksellers! So, how about it, will you write a glowing review of my book and then do a glamourous event with me? I'm sorry that you got your marketing tips down at the Learning Annex, but that isn't how it works.
NO! SERIOUSLY! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY BOOK?! I think your wretched book should be buried far beneath the shifting sands of the Sahara. In an iron vault. I hate your book. Please get the hell away from me before I *stab-stab-stab* ARGH!
Hey, stop stabbing me! You want to go out sometime? Only if you are James Thurber or E.B. White. Literally. Like, back from the dead. I BRAKE FOR ZOMBIES!
How come you erased my comment? WAAAH! WAAAAH! Look, nobody likes a crybaby. So shut it.
