Erin Barrett and Jack Mingo are the Queen and King of trivia, relied upon by game shows including Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and game manufacturers. Millions of people read their daily newspaper column and together they''ve written twenty books. 
The sixth book in the Totally Riveting Utterly Entertaining (TRUE) Trivia Series puts a magnifying lens on the wacky world of writers. It Takes a Certain Type to Be a Writer will tell you everything you could possibly want, or were afraid, to know about writers, publishing, and the writing life. Bite-sized facts are organized into chapters including "Everyone''s a Critic," "Stranger than Fiction," "From Bad to Verse," "Kiddie Lit," "A Word''s Worth," and many more. You''ll learn things like: 
  • Where Proust wrote (in bed with gloves on) 
  • What Voltaire drank (70 cups of coffee a day)
  • And how James Cain prepared himself for yet another publisher''s rejection. (The title The Postman Always Rings Twice had nothing to do with the plot of the best-selling novel. It was a private joke of author James Cain. His postman would ring his doorbell twice whenever the many-times-rejected manuscript came back from a publisher.)
