UGH.
“I’ve written three books now, and while they throw money at you after awhile, I completed the Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang book tour, went out every weekend and signed all those books, and I don’t know if I can do it again. I’m 35 years old, I’m tired. This is a different approach, getting all my friends and family involved, telling them how I’ve screwed them over. I’ll be editing and overseeing, while my family and friends make money off me and get something back from the torture I’ve put them through. I’ve got a couple other ideas and people I want to see write books.” - Chelsea Handler on getting her own imprint at Hachette’s Grand Central Publishing.
Finally! SO nice to hear someone else in the publishing industry is sick and tired of having money thrown at them. I’ve gotten so exhausted of swimming in my cubicle full of gold coins, all alone.
