Yesterday, Monday, there was an announcement of big news in the publishing world! No, not another undiscovered until now, some lost masterpiece by the likes of Shakespeare, more important than that to pop culture. The sixteen year-old pop sensation, singer Justin Bieber has signed a big money deal with really, big-time book publisher HarperCollins to write a book.
Can he write? If he can sign his name, he can write. And besides the book will be his memoirs, his autobiography. And it's going to be an illustrated book. And all he has to do is to put pictures of himself, smiling, in the book, write a few captions, and go on the Internet and tell his zillions of little girl fans to buy it, and they will, and it will be a best seller, and in the world of publishing that is all that counts. Period.
Everybody knows the title of a Justin Bieber self written book is not important. It will be a big seller, with his name and picture on the cover. But, so one will know what to look for, HarperCollins said in their press release, the book will be titled, "Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story."
