Satire (n) A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit.

I think about the literature that, for me, was truly formative back in high school. 90% of it was satire-- Catch-22, Matt Groening's Life in Hell, the work of Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Coupland.

I really have not written enough satire.
fading:
I have turned down two book offers in the past because I got bad advice. I felt I deserved more for the amount of work I put into the books. This was when I was quite a bit younger. I was basically told: "you will never work in this town again." And I didn't care. Now I am thankful I got a "third" chance. And still I am scared to sign and take the plunge. I am such an introvert that the idea of being social with everyone from the publishing house president to the man on the street puts a chill through me.

I am embarrassingly extroverted. Fear not. The soft spoken author is almost iconic, and definately preferrable to the loud-mouthed huckster (that's me).

Obviously, it has to be your decision. But as long as it's YOUR words and YOUR work out there, the material will speak for itself. And maybe with the next project, you can pull more weight in the contract.

Do you have a literary agent to fight for you?
