How To Become A Successful Author....

...have people buy a shitload of your books on the taxpayers dime.


The State Department has bought more than $70,000 worth of books authored by President Obama, sending out copies as Christmas gratuities and stocking “key libraries” around the world with “Dreams From My Father” more than a decade after its release.

The U.S. Embassy in Egypt, for instance, spent $28,636 in August 2009 for copies of Mr. Obama’s best-selling 1995 memoir. Six weeks earlier, the embassy had placed another order for the same book for more than $9,000, federal purchasing records show.

  1. Or, you can use your connections to become a professor at a state college. Then you can publish a mediocre-at-best book. After that, you can decide that your book is required for the class. Every person who has to take this required class must purchase your book. Win! :barf:
