You are the only person at this book signing. (-$100)
Your novel is a retelling of another novel from the perspective of a minor character, a piece of furniture, or a magical being who did not appear in the original. (+$275)
You have attached the entire manuscript as a Word document and encouraged me to “track changes.” (+$500)
You were named one of the “20 Best Writers Under 5’6”” or one of “America’s Best Looking Début Novelists” or some other bullsh!t list that I should have been on but wasn’t because my agent is a hack who can’t get arrested in this town. (+$450)
I asked you for a blurb once and you turned me down. (+$1,000)
