A couple of years ago, I created a fun list of potential celebrity-written books. I did this mainly to vent my frustrations over these often poorly-written, self-absorbed, drivel-ridden wastes of paper that litter bookshelves (save the “indies”). As it turned out, Alexis O’Neill (my SCBWI regional advisor) wanted to print the list in the Spring ’04 issue of KiteTales.
Here are some samples:
A Tinkle in Time: Toilet Training by Dr. Phil.
Charlotte’s World Wide Web by Bill Gates.
Green Hair and a Ham by Dennis Rodman.
The Runaway Money: Explaining the National Deficit by George W. Bush
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, It Better Be Low-Carb by Dr. Robert C. Atkins
You get the idea. Now it’s your turn! Tell me what your favorite potential celebrity-written book would be.
Happy Writing!

I love it, Greg! P.Hilton is one of those celebs that I can’t figure out what all the fuss is about. You’ve nailed her persona with a perfect book title 🙂Thanks for joining in the fun.
