Fun
John may have a leg up on other writers in terms of his credibility to a potential publisher and his ability to get a manuscript read and therefore get his foot in the door. I know other writers who have not had it so easy as John seems to have had to sell his book. His discussion of feeling as an imposter comes off as a little disingenuous because we assume his screenwriting credits opened doors unavailable to others. But, it’s also possible his book is really that good. I guess we’ll find out. Nonetheless, this is a neat story about publishing. I actually know some authors who have had books optioned to movies, too, and it’s fascinating to hear the conversations between author and agent and all the others that John lets us listen to. In one of my friend’s case, the Oscar-winning movie based on his first book was the best advertising he could have had. It’s fascinating to hear about how that decision gets made by the author. It’ll be fun to see how it all works out.

Just heard a “teaser” of this podcast on another podcast and decided I’d give it a try. I’m not sure exactly where this story is headed but, I’m here for the ride.

It’s been a while since a new podcast caught my attention so well. I have never had any interest in publishing a book but I’ve got a heck of a lot of interest in seeing this one get made. Love it!
