Open Letter to Penguin of Penguin Books

Dear Penguin –

First/foremost, #FashionGoals.

My name is Jack and I’ve been working on a cookbook proposal for a few months now. The whole point of this very blog is to document progress on the proposal so I thought it would be fun to talk with you – my future benefactor.

And I’m sure you’ve been following my progress from the home office you’ve set up in your sewer lair. I also work from home! You and I aren’t so different!

Very much the same!

I’m really excited about the idea of working together and the long list of books we’ll publish! I’ve already got a boffo idea for my sophomore title. It’s half cake recipes and half personal finance advice called Baking & Banking! Chapter one is a carrot cake and a HELOC (that’s a home equity line of credit! Tee hee!). That one is for sure gonna get me the James Beard Gold Star!

Once this blog and my books get noticed by the glitterati, I hope you’ll escort me to my first Met Gala! I’ll be like “Penguin, this is Anna Wintour” and you’ll be like “I thought you said Anna Winter! quack quack I love cold climate and bad puns.” The three of us will laugh and laugh.

I know this is all wishful thinking, but you know what they say – if you can conceive it and you believe it, YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT!

OK! Write back soon!!!! Quack quack!

JV
