Title: Self-publishing at its most mediocre
Review: With the difficulties faced by writers getting their work published, many have turned to self-publishing, and Mark Roeder seems to be one of those authors. But the merits of getting a book published by even a small press is an editor, something Roeder sorely needs. Typos, run-on sentences and stilted grammer make this problematic.He also doesn't seem to have a grasp on wrestling, a sport that's much, much better covered in the utterly fantastic PINS, where the author describes that world much better. PINS is also a literary book, but "Someone" doesn't go very deep, and while covering a topic very popular - teen jocks - it just doesn't carry it off. The author would do well to spend a few bucks having a qualified editor go through his next manuscript before sending it off to IUniverse.
