The Best Book Pitch Ever Comes From An Imprisoned Bank Robber
Another entry in our growing collection of unsolicited letters. If your company has received anything as absurd as a request to be in porn or a plea for an NBA roster spot, send it in.
Today's comes from reader Sean, who used to work at a criminal justice book publishing house. A few years back he found this letter in the slush pile. While the pitch was not accepted, I concur with Sean when he says he'd really, really like to read Cry Smiling.
Once again, if you have any good unsolicited letters lying around, we'd love to see them.
