My most recent book, (AKA my first book) is currently not represented by an agent. I am looking into putting the thing together as a monologue. And I'm working on the next one which is a spinoff of this one. Aw-ight?
The book is called "Who Put The Borofsky in the Boardroom." Since I've written so many query letters already and any good query letter should read like a blurb of the book, here's the blurb as query letter as web-page capsule of the book (forgive the third-person):
Pick up some books about business and you'll eventually hear about the importance of creativity and freedom in the workplace: The bottom line grows fatter thanks to metaphors of Moved Cheese, Purple Cows and Colored Parachutes.
"Who Put The Borofsky in The Boardroom?" throws out the cheese, burns the parachute and looks at that world from the inside out: the creative mind's view of business. "Borofsky..." tells Lee Sachs's story from avant garde theater through mainstream entertainment, cycling through dotcom boom then bust then boom again. Sachs maintains his artistic integrity and applies creativity to business process. Building a successful IT practice on nothing more than on-the-job knowledge, Sachs finds a unique role as an Information Architect. An epic internal battle ensues between the practical Corporate Consultant and the ebullient Starving Artist. Ultimately, thecreative urges win out over the working life and this book spills onto the page.
Channeling the first-person wit of a David Sedaris with the absurdity of TV's "The Office," "Borofsky..." lashes out with mordant observations about corporate life and absurd adventures in the screen trade blended through Sachs's peripatetic mind. The result is a rollicking, revealing picture of work, art and the pursuit of happiness. Anyone who's spent a chunk of their life in a corporation or thrown their passion into creative pursuit will delight in this journey of self-discovery with its relevant perspective on our modern world.
