The rejection letter

Swtrose · 05-17-2008, 08:51 PM

I know that this forum is for non blogging issues, but I had no idea where to share this. You might all be familiar with the For Dummy books published by Wiley Inc. Well they are coming out with a book for those using the Blogger platform. In March I was asked to submit a proposal. Long story short I won't be the author of their new book as someone had a better platform to promote the book, but it is flattering to know that I was more than qualified to write the book. This has motivated me and by next year I hope to have written a book on blogging. It won't be published by Wiley and won't have the For Dummy's name behind it, but I think it will still be a great book.

How about a much sexier book:

The Un-Authorized Blogger Handbook!

or if your feeling vindictive,

The Only Blogger Book You'll Ever Need!

Now Eric- I like "The Only Blogger Book You'll Ever Need" as a slogan. I'm not sure about a title.

Come on! It takes the legs right out from under the Dummies guys! Think about it, if I were scrolling through Amazon looking for THE book to buy, which one would you:

The Dummies Guide to Blogger

Or

The ONLY Blogger Book You'll Ever Need!

In fact, just for fun, lets make a poll out of it, you game???

Thats awesome rose. I'm sure the book will be a success. Have you started work on it?

Swtrose · 05-18-2008, 05:31 PM

Yes Kevin I have.

Sure Eric I'm game. Toss a few names in the poll.
