Dear Jenna: I'd like a book deal too
Dear Jenna:

I have lived a few more years than you and I have met some really interesting people too. I'm sure my experiences would make a great book. Is there any way your big time publisher could contact me?

Take care and don't forget to tell me where you are registered at (OK, I know I'm not supposed to end a sentence with "at" but I won't do that in the book)

1. Your editor will take care of any grammatical errors.
Just like Jenna's editor did for her - I'm sure that poor soul (the editor, not Jenna) is now taking a well deserved rest after that job.

2. Most first-time authors have to go through a lot of rejections
Not to mention a lot of polishing. I know several authors and, to a person, they've worked hard to get where they are. And they're working harder to make it in the "big time" - not just in their little niche. This is just another example of someone getting things handed to them because their last name is Bush. Like father, like daughter.

3. Something I wish they'd hand * because of his last name
