My Only Viswanathan Link For Today
In I Coulda Been A Pretender at Slate, John Barlow talks about his experience working with 17th Street Productions (now owned by Alloy). Things didn't work out for him quite so well as they did for Kaavya Viswanathan.
Oh. Wait. Maybe in the long run they turned out better.
Barlow's Slate article is doubly interesting for us, here, because he writes for adults but was approached to write a kids' book.

I mailed the finished text. Did they filter? Did they read? No; they gave the manuscript straight to the 8-year-old son of the company president. Little Timmy ... cried ... and needed counseling.
I'd say this outcome is way better than Viswanathan's. More fun to read about, anyway.
