I think a crowd would gag and vomit and ask me to put my clothes back on!

JJ: I'll tell you something the editor at my publishing house told me if it helps.

"We are looking for a new or different slant to an old topic."

Let's face it, there aren't many topics that haven't been written about or written about over and over so they are looking for something unique. My book was on domestic violence and she said they must receive over 200 manuscripts or query letters on that topic alone every year. And, most of them were..."my ex beat me, I left, here I am." No answers for the reader. (If you write a self-help book, you gotta give answers!) They liked the fact that I addressed what I felt or thought and the lies I told myself and how I humbled myself to be completely honest. It makes a difference if you let the readers into your heart and show them you aren't perfect either. I can't read a book written by a woman who seems to be a mini goddess or something! I need a human being!
