The Letter I Should've Written...

For aspiring authors, do not be shy to love your work; do not be modest when pitching it to a publisher.  Here's the letter I should have written to the publisher who turned me down:

Dear Editor,

I will cut to the chase and tell you right now that this is the best fucking book you will read, at the very least, this year.  What you have in your hands is not a manuscript, it is a door.  Open it and you will venture into a world that will both scare the shit out of you, and place a firm grip on your heart as you follow along with this trio of warriors.  Daunting, yes?  Still, this is what you signed up for, it is for you to bring this story to as many adventurers as possible.

Do not fail.  Do not take the easy route and sneer at a misplaced comma.  Do not be faint of heart and give this door a half-assed twist of the knob, dive in head first and I guarantee that there will be no where else to go but straight to print.  Your name will be hailed as the editor who had the balls to run with an unknown writer, and take a risk that ultimately led to millions stepping foot into an amazing universe and iconic tale.  The choice is yours - literary hero or ignorant dick.

Sincerely,
Me

Seeing as I have published this book myself, I guess we know where his place in history stands.

Oh, and the first 2 chapters are available to preview on my Facebook Page.
