A Note To Those Writing Books Of Southern Wit

Dear Writers of Southern Wit,
Good for you for writing a book! Thank you for sharing your personal stories with us and sharing with the world how fun and funny it is to be from the South! Before you get your book, published, though, here are a few tips to consider:

* Not every book of Southern Wit needs recipes.

* Personal quotes from other Southerners often disrupt the flow of the book.

* Stop trying so hard.

* We aren't BFFs. In fact, more often than not, we've never met.

* Stop being so precious.

* You are not Jill Conner Browne. No seriously, you aren't.

After evaluating this advice, then you may proceed.
Best of luck in your writing endeavors!

Sincerely,
Erica Reid, lover of (some) Southern Wit books
