Writing Wrongly: The ongoing saga of an incomplete wanker

"When the whole world's against you, at least it's something to lean on."

When the worst writer in history self-publishes his books, the world of literature is decimated overnight. Illiteracy becomes something to aspire to and book burnings become rife. The publishing industry is left hemorrhaging credibility and teeters on the brink of collapse. Its recovery is not a matter of removing said books, or even destroying them: the same must be done to the mind responsible.

Thomas may be the worst writer to have ever lived, but if he's not careful, he won't be doing much of that, either.

This Sortabiography is the story of one writer against the entire publishing industry. There's lots of swearing and temper tantrums, as well as a brand new psychiatric illness. There's also an excellent café scene, which, although short, is worth mentioning.

“Dreadful. The title says it all. Except about it being dreadful. ” - Carmen Schneider. Acquisitions Editor, PBA.

“The publishing industry is in upheaval, it's true. But this just rubs balsamic vinegar into its wounds and garnishes it with slices of turd.” - Robert Tasher. MD, Banquet Press.

“It's ebooks like this that should have the internet banned.” - Malcolm Shrot-Faith, Literary Agent.
