14. They mostly look for track record - and yours is impressive..
Two popular books behind you make it an easier sell, but that won't stop me from crossing fingers along with you! This is one of those things that never gets easy to do, even if after you've done it a bunch of times.

You likely already know this, but persistence pays off with a pitch. Don't let a rejection bite you, just get that sucker out to the next publisher.

11. Here's a prayer of goodluck my mother use to tell me.
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.

He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

21. Then you definitely want me posting in this thread
'cause I just got a fat raise and a radioactively glowing performance appraisal during my contract renegotiation at work.

I'm just sure some karma flakes will be spilling onto the floor wherever I may go.

I don't know the literary version of "break a leg", so I'll only offer my best wishes and hopes for your book to be published. :thumbsup:

The synopsis of my book and I will be meeting with an editor and an agent in Chicago at the end of April. My book is fiction and (I'm sure,) much less intellectual than yours. ;-)

36. Dear God, please open the publisher's eyes to the brilliance of
William Rivers Pitt's book proposal.
Through the intercession of St. John of God (patron of publishers)



And St. Francis De Sales (patron of authors)

Amen!

I love you Mr. Pitt! :loveya: :hug:
