From Hollis Gillespie, Atlanta Magazine columnist, NPR commentator, author of 3 books, and dominatrix of her Shocking Real Life Book-Deal Boot Camp :
"These days you have to take hope in any form it decides to present itself, and fortunately that form is pretty damn hard to miss when it's Scott Kenan, the unforgettable 7-foot bi-polar giant who took my book-deal workshop last year. Scott took everything I told him and landed himself a book deal. Walking On Glass; A Memoir of the Later Days of Tennessee Williams comes out next year from Alyson Books. See how I steal all the credit...

Scott Gets a Book Deal!
Posted 7/15/2009 10:25:00 AM
Warning: Below I exalt the triumph of one of my writing students and shamelessly take credit for all his success:My Shocking Real Life Book-Deal Boot Camp alum landed a book contract! Below is the synopsis for Scott Kenan's soon-to-be-released memoir of his time as the personal assistant of Tennessee William during the playwright's last days. How AWESOME is that? I love Tennessee Williams. He wrote Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Glass Menagerie and tons of other essential works for subversive reading during my high-school days. Kenan is the fourteenth Shocking Real-Life alum to land a book deal! If you have an idea for a book and want a book deal, sign yer ass up immediately. The next workshop is this Sunday. Below is a synopsis of Kenan's book, due out in hard cover, April 2010.
