Re: Alan Schoonmaker\'s Opinion For My Next Book
"But keep in mind that your reputation for dating a 16 year old (even if you didn't know) won't exactly help find a partner publisher. I think it would have been better keeping that story under wraps if your intention is to market this book to teens. Perhaps a better solution is to market the book for adults who have forgotten rudimentary algebra?"
Putting aside the fact that the actual story is not that bad, I want to make this comment.
If a known rapist, child molester, wrote the only book that could raise your child's algebra grade from a B to a C, and you didn't purchase it because of his crimes, you should have your child taken from you.
Actually though, because of the way this world works, the fact is that a semi known person like myself is unfortunately more, not less, likely to get this book to the marketplace because of that story. (Or the 50K SAT religion challenge.)
