Tough sell for writers at NY literary speed-dating | Entertainment | Reuters: "NEW YORK (Reuters) - If you think speed-dating is tough, try selling your book to an editor in three minutes.
That's what hundreds of aspiring authors were doing this week at a New York trade fair, and the odds were against them.
Literary agent Peter Miller said there were as many as 15 million wannabe writers in the United States with books to sell."

15 million's probably more than the number of Americans who'll read a book this year...
Yeah, but they still want to write one.
Pretty scary figures. Maybe I should stick with the short stories.
