Publish This Book (TP): The Unbelievable True Story of How I Wrote, Sold and Published This Very Book

A scam filled with childish crap and F bombs

I thought this book would be more about publishing an actual book as I am assisting a TRUE writer and wanted more direction. Instead, this "book" turned out to be a messy collection of immature school and college stories of sex, drugs, drinking and nothingness. If you can get through all the F words filling every page, you only find political rants (don't read this if you are a conservative or Tea Party member because it will only tick you off)and inconsiderate blubbering.

What a waste of money and a joke. (I'm so glad that I only checked it out from the library and did not buy it).

So glad they did....

This book made me socially awkward in a dozen different situations. I would literally burst out laughing, and everyone in the room would turn and look a me. But I didn't care, because I was only halfway done with the book. Buy this book. I promise you will not regret it.

Funny, youthful memoir

The concept of this book is interesting in itself, but the book goes much farther than just the process of publishing a book. Markley has a great sense of humor that is both youthful and random, and his style of writing had me laughing, as well as reading to find out what would happen next. I finished the book much faster than I expected to; it definitely garnered my attention. I was able to connect to the book and the humor, and enjoyed that I was reading a book written by someone close to my age, which isn't always the case. Overall, I found it to be a funny, youthful, memorable memoir.

Funniest book i ever read

This book is freakin HILARIOUS! I laugh out loud constantly (so beware if you're in a quiet place--the folks at the DMV looked at me like I was crazy), and it's insightful, touching, silly, and damn fun. Hell, I was hooked after just reading the back of the book cover. I wanna hang out and have a beer with Stephen Markley...

For the love of God, buy this book.

I literally could not put this book down. This book had me laughing out loud just about every chapter, to the point where I had to literally fight from keeping myself from calling friends to read certain passages aloud to them.

This book is so much more than just being a book about publishing said book, it's a love story, a tale of growing into adulthood, and what it really is like to be a struggling writer.

For the love of God, please buy this book so that he can write another one. You won't regret it.

Read This Book!

Stephen Markley puts it all out there in this hilarious and insightful memoir. If you are between the ages of 18 and 40 and have ever tried to define yourself in this world, you must read this book. Markley puts himself out there and shows that being an author is not always the way we imagine and life still plays its games with you even when you think you are on your way.
