Molly O'Neill is right, this DOES look like something from a Lisa Yee book cover.
YEEEAAAAH, I’m gonna do it. Marketing. Promotion! EVENT PUBLICITY! Oh I feel so cheap and tawdry–oh wait, that’s right, I always feel that way…

Hecklers welcome
Mike Jung has an agent and a book deal, but before that stuff happened he was just another irritating guy spending too much time on the internet blabbing on and on about nothing. Find out how he pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes and started a career as a published author anyway. Mike is represented by Ammi-Joan Paquette of the Erin Murphy Literary Agency, and his debut novel GEEKS, GIRLS AND SECRET IDENTITIES is forthcoming from Arthur A. Levine Books. Yes, in fact I AM writing about myself in third person. TRY AND STOP ME. Yes, in fact I AM inviting people who live as far away as France. YOU SHOULD BE FLATTERED. That’s an unreasonably long way to travel, I must really want to see you there!
Fun, inventive and possibly masochistic activities that you may be asked to participate in at this gala event:
- You will have the opportunity to serve as proxy for a heckler who cannot attend.
- You might be forced to hold a ridiculous homemade sign and participate in a group photo.
- There will be at least a couple of attempts to coerce you into doing something silly that will eventually appear on YouTube.
Oh MAN!! I would love to go to this…buy yeah…I live in Canada. Say…can you send me a donut, though?
Have fun, I _know_ those who go will learn a bunch, those luck donut-eating devils.
Can I come even if I DON’T heckle? It’s on my calandar! Anybody willing and the creek don’t rise and the end-of-year HS homework doesn’t flood, and I’ll be there.
Can I come even if I DON’T heckle? It’s on my calendar! Anybody willing and the creek don’t rise and the end-of-year HS homework doesn’t flood, and I’ll be there.
Oh, I should just quit trying to back up and correct my typos. Feel free to delete extra comments!
Ooo, ooo (*raises hand*) –I wanna find out how you pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes. Can I be one of those hecklers who send in their proxy because they cannot attend? Consider this comment my proxy.
Sorry, but it’s a bit far from Pennsylvania. Otherwise, I would certainly be there.
You BETTER post photos afterward.
I wish I could be there. Have a fantastic time presenting! I’m sure you’ll be a smashing success.
Just for you, Mike.
