[Beginning of recorded material]
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: What is going on in your life now?
Rick Rosner: So my plan was to sell a book. A memoir about the 10 years I spent in high school. I got an agent based on a couple of appearances on a couple of podcasts, like Bill Simmons’ podcast. I got a co-author because I like partnering up on stuff. We wrote a 60 page book proposal. It went out. I got a deal for a half of a second.
An editor from Riverhead said they wanted a deal, then called back 4 days later, but she could not persuade her bossesw to make a deal. My plan has been, over the past 3 years, if do nothing else, at least increase my social media presence to the point where I am – not quite famous bcause it is not famous – having at least enough of a social media following to make some publisher think giving me a deal is a good move.
So I’ve been building up my following on Twitter. With your help, we have been expanding my socila media presence into all sorts of areas: blogging, WordPress. A bunch of different sites.
