into which we'd dump our clients after six months or so of rejections). We decided to call it SLA Unlimited (which could stand for Strauss Literary Associates or Sleazy Lying A$$holes, whichever was more appropriate).
It was fun. But now Rob is giving me funny looks, and I know he's thinking about actually doing it...

Victoria, I was just thinking that I am totally in the wrong business--why be an editor at a real publishing company when I could charge people to edit my books, and then charge them again to buy them? And it would be fun in an evil kind of way. Or what if I started a publishing industry award and charged self publishers $50 per title to enter--and then never chose a winner. Or better yet, declared everyone a winner, since I will have so many, many categories of entry. Everyone who wins will be invited to purchase a golden trophy that looks suspiciously like an Oscar, but holding book and wearing reading glasses with a pencil behind its ear. Wait, this is a great idea!
