BOOK BY PUBLISHING INSIDER TOPPLES PUBLISHING FROM PEDESTAL A new satire of how-to-write-books by NY publishing insider Madelyne Simone Rovenhauer has the market all to itself. In a genre rife with deadly serious texts purporting to teach the beginner to write bestselling novels, there is now a deadly satire. Anything but the usual publishing cheerleader, Rovenhauer bites not only the hand that feeds her, but every hand within reach. Her nasty little book topples publishing from its pedestal and into the gutter where it belongs, and anyone who has ever read any of an endless stream of how-to-write books in hopes of being published—and collected rejection slips—will want to read this hilarious spoof.

Rovenhauer deals with all aspects of writing a bestselling novel on one's first try—from awaiting the muse to coping with ensuing fame. Included in her acerbic guide are: secrets of `bonding' with new york editors, writing about sex, what genre is ripe for `breaking in', why you should not `write what you know', how TV can be your doorway to success, why literary agents want to `discover' you, and much more. Bitingly satirical and choc-a-block with lies as it is—this nasty little tome serves up a bigger dose of truth than any gross of the usual how-to-be-published books.

The Nasty Little Writing Book guarantees a contract with a large publishing house and a million dollar advance on the reader's first attempt. Ms. Rovenhauer is that confident, that filled with sage advice for the novice. Vicious as it is nasty, those familiar with the realities of the publishing world will find Rovenhauer's nasty little spoof acerbically on target..
