The publishing world was
THE CHILDREN'S publishing world was rocked this week as a book was released by a new author who wasn't a celebrity.
"We've checked and doublechecked and she does indeed appear to be a former nanny living in West Somerset whose talent was spotted by an editor at Bloomsbury," said everyone working in publishing.
"She's not a footballer like Marcus Rashford, a presenter like Dermot O'Leary, a pop star like Madonna, a comedian like David Baddiel or an actress like Keira Knightley, so what business relieved when it became clear there was no marketing budget for this book, as that was going on Gwyneth Paltrow's first picture book, meaning that the non-celebrity author's book sold less than 3,000 copies despite excellent reviews.
*"This means she'll now have to put her talent towards paying the bills, ghost-writing children's books by celebrity authors."
"Well, that's a relief," agreed everyone in children's publishing eagerly looking forward to the day when Al will be able to generate children's books for the celebrities to put their name on at no cost.
