Just mailed a letter pleading Stephen King to read my book

all I had to do was google his address for his fan club…sounds like his real address…I d k…anyways…I didn’t really plead…I just told him I had schizophrenia and wrote a book about the mental journey through seven months of sz. do you think he will read it?? I mean…what IF?

You should try to talk to someone that represents him

the address was bangor, ME. I’m pretty sure it’s near where Stephen King would be…who knows…he may have his wife read it.

Why specifically Stephen King?

he knows what it’s like to be a struggling author…thought I might touch his macabre heart to see what’s inside the real mind of a demented person.

I didn’t know Stephen King was once a struggling author. I’ll have to read about that.

he wrote the first chapter of Carrie and threw it in the trash…his wife saw him do it and pulled it out of the trash and read it. she encouraged him and said she would give him the female outlook on Carrie and her mother. worked…

Maybe you’ll inspire him to write about a character with schizophrenia, if he hasn’t already. Seems like it would be right up his alley.

@TheLogician thank you so much…that’s what I was thinking…my book is kind of a book “documentary” about the mind under illness of sz.

Your welcome! Honestly after reading the dark tower and hearing about how he lives it wouldn’t surprise me if he was somewhere on sz spectrum. Maybe he’ll find it relatable in some ways.

I’ve thought about doing the same but after reading The Center Cannot Hold I don’t feel like my experience has been all that interesting. I feel like my book would read as much like a reflections or meditations book as much as it would read like a book about living with schizophrenia.

It’s so cool u wrote a book on sz.

I wish I was strong enough to do that for myself too.

Anyway maybe one day I’ll write a book on something it sounds fulfilling.
