I think her reply should go something like this. MightyYT Send a noteboard - 18/10/2011 08:03:23 PM
Due to circumstances, I have decided to withdraw my book from the competition. The members of the select committee have shown their incompetence in this mess and their ineptitude to perform simple tasks brings into question the validity of their decisions. Therefore, I do not wish my book to be judged by those lacking faculties to count to five correctly and have withdrawn my book.











But then, I believe in putting people in their place. The harshness being directly proportional to the disaster.
Castle: This is so weird. I dressed up as him for Halloween.

Beckett: Me too.

The latest scandal in the world of publishing: NBA asks Lauren Myracle to withdraw her book. Rebekah - 17/10/2011 07:24:12 PM 1288 Views
That does sound like quite an extraordinary screw-up. Camilla - 17/10/2011 07:33:56 PM 908 Views
The book obviously wouldn't have been on the list. Cut it, don't apologize, tell people to fuck off Tom - 17/10/2011 08:11:15 PM 833 Views
The quote from the blogger's father is all kinds of awesome. Legolas - 17/10/2011 10:26:52 PM 1089 Views
In fact I'm now far more tempted to read her books than Lauren Myracle's... Legolas - 17/10/2011 11:02:50 PM 992 Views
the quote is from the book Cheaper by the Dozen The Wandering Gambler - 18/10/2011 03:44:32 AM 909 Views
Wow, that's a great quote. I'm afraid I'm going to have to steal it now. *NM* Praziquantel - 18/10/2011 07:40:34 AM 418 Views
Yeah, I was confused that the NBA was focusing on a book and not on... itself. Gher - 18/10/2011 06:24:41 PM 1026 Views
the first fuck up was the mix up, the second was not to immediately apologise to the the author, but Foxhead - 18/10/2011 01:27:52 PM 1044 Views
I'm with Tom on this. Stephen - 18/10/2011 01:47:49 PM 838 Views
That's a big FU, but she didn't do the right thing either... DomA - 18/10/2011 02:23:38 PM 817 Views
That makes no sense. Why should she withdraw her book? Legolas - 18/10/2011 07:03:23 PM 971 Views
Side question- Are these awards publicly voted for, or is it some commmitee who makes the choice? Stephen - 18/10/2011 02:30:49 PM 810 Views
It's a juried award Larry - 19/10/2011 04:07:07 AM 860 Views
Like Legolas, I was thinking of the less well known NBA. Joel - 18/10/2011 04:08:18 PM 1119 Views
