Writing Wrongly (The Wrong Books)

When the worst writer in history self-publishes his books, the world of literature is decimated overnight. Illiteracy becomes something to aspire to and book burnings become rife. The publishing industry is left hemorrhaging credibility and verges on collapse. But its recovery not a matter of removing said books, or even destroying them, the same must be done to the mind responsible.

Thomas Corfield is the worst writer who’s ever lived, but because of the rubbish he’s written, he won’t be living much longer.

Written with little regard for spelling, punctuation or even words, this Sortabiography is the story of one writer against the entire publishing industry. There’s lots of swearing and temper tantrums, as well as a brand new psychiatric illness. There’s also an excellent café scene, which although short, is worth mentioning.

“Dreadful. The title says it all. Except about it being dreadful. ” - Carmen Schneider.  Acquisitions Editor, PBA.

“The publishing industry is in upheaval, it’s true. But this just rubs balsamic vinegar into its wounds and garnishes it with slices of turd.” – Robert Tasher. MD, Banquet Press.

“It’s ebooks like this that should have the internet banned.” - Malcolm Shrot-Faith, Literary Agent.
