To: Editor, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

I believe your newspaper has been missing something for the last two decades. In fact it was the original reason I became a loyal subscriber in the first place: the thrice-weekly columns of my all-time favorite writer, the late, great Lewis Grizzard. Trust me when I say that as a loyal University of Florida graduate it’s difficult for me to admit there is actually something good that came out of the University of Georgia, and that something would be Lewis Grizzard. Born and raised in nearby Moreland (I reside in Peachtree City, Georgia), Grizzard had a major influence on my writing style. This is my sixth self-published book; one of them sold so well a publisher came a-calling to buy the rights to it. Now I’d like to take my writing to the next level. That’s where you come in.

Consider this book as both my job application and resume for a position on your editorial staff.

Everything here on the back cover is my cover letter to you.

I leave you with one simple question: When do I start?
