Finishing a book

May 19, 2008 - 9:41 am - by Roger L Simon

Some time ago… I think Shaq was still playing for the Lakers and there wasn’t more than one Spiderman movie… I signed up to do a memoir for Encounter Books. Then life intervened – meaning for the first time in my life I found myself running a company. Writing a book wasn’t quite as easy as it used to be – and it was never that easy.

Anyway, behind the scenes and in the small hours of the morning I soldiered on. Other than the editorial process – correcting my spelling, grammar, diction, punctuation, organization, thought process and ideas… not to mention those pesky fact – I’m pretty much finished this weekend. Title: BLACKLISTING MYSELF – Memoir of a Hollywood Apostate in an Age of Terror. It’ll be out in 2009. The folks at Encounter are working on a groovy film noir cover.

    I can’t wait, and I’ll be happy even with an unsigned copy.

    Congratulations Roger! Can’t wait to read it. I hope many others buy it and read it as well – especially in Hollywood – if it slapped some sense into just a few of the new reactionaries there you would be affecting some real change in the culture. Change we can believe in.

    Simon in 2012!

    Lovely – congrats all the way around…
    So now that you are one of the unwashed and unadorned, the few, the proud and the (presumeably) unblessed by the MSM do you want to give a consideration to the Independent Authors’ Guild? The few, the creatively unconstrained by the literary industrial complex?
    I’d like to think that independent authors are presently where where PJ Media was, a couple of years ago – a space for truely independent and creative writers!

    That’s great news, Roger! I’ll definitely buy it. Hollywood, GWOT, apostasy…it’s got everything I can identify with, plus all your other juicy tidbits that are sure to enthrall (no I am not being sarcastic).

    Set up an Amazon link from here and PJ to garner some extra $$ as you sell it, too. :-) Oh yeah, I want a signed copy too…
