World's Worst Book Proposals By Angela Hoy
printable version

This week, I'm sharing snippets of some of the worst book proposals we've ever received. I hope you get a giggle from them like we did. Yes, these are real!

"The Complet Guide of How You Can Havethe most Happiest Family on Earth - my book is highly recommede for married couples."

~~~~~

"It is intresting, intriging and has a cute little twist."

~~~~~

"My book is a fresh idea. I have been told its original and there isnt any out there quit like it."

~~~~~

"A practical handbook fir families"

~~~~~

This ebook is of exceptionally high quality and offerrs its readers a complete and unusually practical solution..."

~~~~~

"This book will not be acceptable to 99% of people..."

~~~~~

After all, hard work doesn't necessarily get you anywhere in life. If anything, working hard is stupid, and theft seems a lot more intelligent.

~~~~~

"This is a very offensive book, and the reader should not be warned of this in any way."

~~~~~

And finally, after rejecting their proposals, I received these lovely emails from the authors:

"I'm not a nice guy, because nice people get trampled on, and don't say they don't get trampled on, 'cause they do. (Yes, that's a subtle insult to you.)"

"I think the one who is rude is you. I have tried my best to be diplomatic. I hope God forgive you of your sins......and cure you of the mental demons that are raging inside you!"

"You are a big over-reamed sloppy prostitute's (bleep) who worships the (bleep) that rapes you."
