Publishing Pickup Lines

Yegods, I love Twitter sometimes. The things people riff on!

Today, it’s Publishing Pickup Lines. And since I’ve gotten onto Twitter rather late today, I’m going through the list of people’s suggestions, and howling.

Some wonderful examples:

• Ainsley, at RandomHouseCA: How bout you and I go backlist?
• wlbooks or bookpatrol: When between the covers – I can release it in a hard or soft version. Sorry, can’t do it simultaneously. (This one has me shrieking with mirth.)
  
• kaiwan: Here’s my ISBN, feel free to call me for a hard copy
• public_affairs: Three words: Strip. And. Bind.
• bsandusky: You had me at “Winner of the National Book Award”.
• alexsaid: her frontlist offering may not be anything to write home about, but damn, look at that backlist
• chapmanchapman: You bring just indies, I’ll bring the chains. The safety word is “Oprah”

Forget “I love Twitter.” I love book people!!
