I think her reply should go something like this. MightyYT Send a noteboard - 18/10/2011 08:03:23 PM
Due to circumstances, I have decided to withdraw my book from the competition. The members of the select committee have shown their incompetence in this mess and their ineptitude to perform simple tasks brings into question the validity of their decisions. Therefore, I do not wish my book to be judged by those lacking faculties to count to five correctly and have withdrawn my book.











But then, I believe in putting people in their place. The harshness being directly proportional to the disaster.
Castle: This is so weird. I dressed up as him for Halloween.

Beckett: Me too.

The latest scandal in the world of publishing: NBA asks Lauren Myracle to withdraw her book. Rebekah - 17/10/2011 07:24:12 PM 1498 Views
That does sound like quite an extraordinary screw-up. Camilla - 17/10/2011 07:33:56 PM 1118 Views
The book obviously wouldn't have been on the list. Cut it, don't apologize, tell people to fuck off Tom - 17/10/2011 08:11:15 PM 1053 Views
The quote from the blogger's father is all kinds of awesome. Legolas - 17/10/2011 10:26:52 PM 1310 Views
In fact I'm now far more tempted to read her books than Lauren Myracle's... Legolas - 17/10/2011 11:02:50 PM 1224 Views
the quote is from the book Cheaper by the Dozen The Wandering Gambler - 18/10/2011 03:44:32 AM 1136 Views
Wow, that's a great quote. I'm afraid I'm going to have to steal it now. *NM* Praziquantel - 18/10/2011 07:40:34 AM 511 Views
Yeah, I was confused that the NBA was focusing on a book and not on... itself. Gher - 18/10/2011 06:24:41 PM 1274 Views
the first fuck up was the mix up, the second was not to immediately apologise to the the author, but Foxhead - 18/10/2011 01:27:52 PM 1345 Views
I'm with Tom on this. Stephen - 18/10/2011 01:47:49 PM 1052 Views
That's a big FU, but she didn't do the right thing either... DomA - 18/10/2011 02:23:38 PM 1035 Views
That makes no sense. Why should she withdraw her book? Legolas - 18/10/2011 07:03:23 PM 1177 Views
Side question- Are these awards publicly voted for, or is it some commmitee who makes the choice? Stephen - 18/10/2011 02:30:49 PM 1031 Views
It's a juried award Larry - 19/10/2011 04:07:07 AM 1088 Views
Like Legolas, I was thinking of the less well known NBA. Joel - 18/10/2011 04:08:18 PM 1393 Views
