Book excerpt: A nutty and hilarious book of magazine submissions and letters to and from the editors by the comedian, former Seinfeld writer, and Bee Movie cowriter. Foreword by Jerry Seinfeld Ed writes short stories. He’s prolific. And desperate to get published. But he sends his stories to the wrong magazines. As for the magazines? Well, they don’t mind telling him so: “As a word of advice, it always helps for writers to be familiar with the publications they submit material to.” —Fencers Quarterly Magazine “Dear Ed: Thank you for your recent submission to Steamboat Magazine; it was wonderful to hear how much our magazine has touched you . . .” “Dear Mr. Broth: Thank you for the opportunity to review your article, ‘My Car Ride with Daddy,’ for possible publication in Mushing . . .” With this book, Ed Broth finally sees his work published. His “Stories of Hope & Inspiration” and his “Stories of Meaning & Sacrament” plus his passionate pitches to place his writing in our nation’s premier publications—from Pest Control Magazine to Arthritis Today—are all to be found in the book you hold in your hands. Some might have advised Ed not to send his story “I Love Dogs” to I Love Cats Magazine or to stop submitting revised stories to editors who have already turned them down. But, well, that’s just not the way Ed’s mind works. Studded like a rich cranberry strudel with nuggets of genius—from cartoons and advertisements to Ed’s newspaper articles from across the country—Stories from a Moron is an addictive journey into the mind of a great talent.
