I can’t be the only one getting these emails, but no one else has mentioned them yet.
Every blessed morning, I get at least one or two messages from representatives of Publishing Houses or Literary Agents. All promising to successfully market one or another of my books.
These emails are long, well-written, and sincere. Full of interesting information and comments about my books. They include detailed explanations of how my work could be better.
Extensive knowledge of my life and writing would indicate a lot of research work on our website, colorful and descriptive praise of past posts, indicating a thorough investigation of me and everything I have ever done. Impressive, to say the least.
Reading all this praise really boosts your ego. It’s hard not to get carried away with the charm of it all. So far, as I can’t bear to delete them all, I have been saving them to a file. Just to read them all again, you understand.
They sound so genuine, but I suspect they aren’t. I mean, who shook the helpful tree and sent them all to me?
