Author Topic: Can you write a best seller (Read 4156 times)

CoIwyn's recent reply in the "Grumpy Old Men Section" reminded me of a topic I intended to post awhile ago when I remembered Scunner's humorous post sometime ago about writing a book.

So, imagine that you have enough time on your hands and that some publisher has given you not only a £ 100,000.00 advance, but also the services of a ghost writer, if needed.

What would your book be, fiction or non-fiction, what would the subject matter be and what catchy title would you give it to attract the discerning CBF reader (assume such a person exists).

(PS Ghosts is not an acceptable answer if you use a ghost writer).

Or would you care to suggest a book which another member might like to write.

Here's one I thought might want to bury your nose in on a dark winter's night

My fourth book will be published in a few weeks time. It will be non-fiction (like the other three), of no interest whatsoever to CBF members discerning or otherwise (nor to the overwhelming majority of the rest of the world), will make me no momey, and prove conclusively that I cannot write a best seller.

OK Colwyn, I'll be the first to ask. What's the title or am I being wound up (not for the firt or last time on here I suppose)
