Dear Mr. Dunton,

I appreciate the personal response. Thank you. But, with respect, if you think memoirs are too difficult to place, why does your website say you’re actively seeking them? Kindly save us authors some time!

ACTIVELY SEEKING PROJECTS IN THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES:

NONFICTION:
Music History
Music Journalism
Memoir
Biography
Narrative
Media
Film/TV
Essay/Literature
Pop Culture

As for your claim about the relevancy of social media, you are mistaken. Read Elizabeth Harris’s article in The Times. The publishing industry is her beat.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/07/books/social-media-following-book-publishing.html

She cites a number of mismatches, with expectations stemming from published authors with huge followings that translated to little more than ho-hum sales, including those of Billie Eilish and Justin Timberlake.

Yours truly,
Tom Zimberoff
