In 1992 - when Amy Fisher dominated every news channel - there lived two men. The first was a once prominent cartoonist who had a very public fall from grace. The other was an alcoholic who worked in a landfill. Both lived in different parts of the country and led completely separate lives - until their paths crossed.You know their names. And for over twenty years, you thought you knew their story - until their journals were found and authenticated in 2014.And what we thought we knew - what the old news clips and the old stories wanted us to think - were all wrong.

What actually goes on behind the curtain of "being published?" How does it feel when you get your advance? Is it fun? Exciting? Does it involve riches, fame, and groupies? Inside They Don't Call It the Submission Process for Nothing, you'll discover what it's really like to finally bash down the seemingly impenetrable walls of the publishing industry and see your book in bookstores. Then there's the book tour, radio interviews, signing events, speaking engagements, your face on promotional posters. . . . Is it a dream come true? Good question. Whether you're a writer or a reader, author Prioleau Alexander's hilarious memoir will tell you the things you aren't supposed to know . . . and why no one behind the curtain ever spills the beans about how things really work. Is there a reason for that? Let's just say they don't call it the submission process for nothing.

When she finds out her late husband left behind mountains of debt, she has no choice but to downgrade her lifestyle, moving from her dream house to a cheap apartment in nearby Brookside Manor. Befriended by the colorful locals, Beverly starts to learn that there may be more to life than birdwatching. But there's also more to Brookside Manor than meets the eye, and you'll never believe the secret it's hiding.
