The Jordan Technique

Friday, 29th February 2008

Katie Price is the empress of the bestsellers, yet has never written a word herself. Madame Arcati can't help being awed by the chutzpah:

[She] told me last week that her publishers... insist on calling her latest book an autobiography. "But it isn’t," she said. "It’s a diary. I talk into a dictaphone for two years and each month someone takes the tape away and something’s done to it. I’ve started talking to my dictaphone for my fourth diary that’s out in two-and-half-years’ time."  A diary! Of course! At her current rate, and given a normal lifespan (let’s say 87 years from her current age of 29 years) we can look forward to at least another 27 or 29 "memoirs" or updates...
I paid a visit to a literary agency yesterday, and had to listen to myself pitching an idea for a novel. Painful, very painful. Some people can do the salesmanship. I can't. Now, where's my tape recorder?
