No fool like the one-monograph man

Every professional writer knows at least one fool who's written some
little monograph and who feels that entitles him to give patronizing

Jobst Brandt
Jobst Brand has written one monograph. It had to be published by his
employer, presumably because no real publisher wanted it, among other
reasons because the perfectly even-length paragraphs marching
mindlessly towards the horizon on rusted railroad tracks, separated by
linespaces (!), would drive readers to suicide.

Andre Jute has lost count of the number of books he has written, but
forty-odd is close enough. They were published by the world's leading
publishers, in a dozen or so languages, in over 300 editions, with
commensurate sales. Among them are a handful of textbooks for other
writers from which chapters are also anthologized in writers' annuals.
Also in Andre Jute's output are several books about typography and
graphic design.

Andre, you shouldn't speak of yourself in the third person. It's
creepy.

I think you would be a natural for writing gothic kid's books -- be
the next Lemony Snicket (if you are not in fact the current Lemony
Snicket), or Cornelia Funke or even C.S. Lewis. It looks like
remunerative work, and the research is not onerous -- particularly if
you write fantasy. -- Jay Beattie.

Mr. Jute is good at writing fantasy for Usenet.
