Bookworm Sleepover

'The C minus was sufficient. I didn't need the advice against hiring a literary agent.'

'I have a best selling novel on the tip of my tongue...'

'As a famous writer, could you do something to help jumpstart my career?'

"If you saw a book with the title 'An American Speaks Out,' would you buy it?"

"I feel that I have at least one more unpublished novel in me."

"Isn't it obvious? I'm writing the great American graphic novel."

'I've had a few short stories published, but I'd really like to write 'the Great American How to Write a Novel.''

'I can't promise you a best seller but I can give you fifteen minutes of fame.'

Dear Author: We really are tickled by your persistence. Sincerely, The Editors.

"Would you mind taking a look at this collection of my poems? Your opinion would mean a lot."

"Not now. I'm working on my children's book."

'My blog has been favourited over half a million times but still no book deal!'

"Dear Mom and Dad: Thanks for the happy childhood. You've destroyed any chance I had of becoming a writer."

'I'm still working on my novel. In the meantime, and this is between you and me, I make ends meet by writing all those cat memes you see on Facebook.'

'The editor told me my novel is very foresighted - I shall submit again in 2079!'

"That's my novel."

'My dad is pushing me to become an alpha male, but frankly, I'd rather be a poet...'

'It began as The Great American Novel...but it finally sold as an infomercial.'
