Someone Publish This Guy’s Book! (or at least write him back)

(Inspired by the weekend papers, mediabistro.com founder Laurel Touby takes a brief detour from the holiday weekend.)

Did anyone read this story in the Times today?”Who Founded Facebook?” I was struck by how this guy Aaron J. Greenspan just couldn’t catch a break. First, his pal at Harvard [allegedly] steals his idea for The Facebook (which is now Facebook), then he doesn’t get a SINGLE response to the 800 query letters he sends out to literary agents to publish a book he wrote about his experience being an entrepreneur as a student at Harvard.

GalleyCat readers, I’m curious if any of you got one of those query letters. Can you pass it along so we can publish it here? Thanks! Send to FromLaurel [AT] mediabistro [DOT] Com

Also, anyone care to analyze the title of this proposed book and tell us why you think it works/doesn’t work? “Authoritas: One Student’s Harvard Admissions.”
