"MICHAEL CRAWLEY, who has also written under the names MICHAEL DARLING, MORGANA BARON and others, has prepared a detailed, often amusing, list of things to do if you don't want to have your manuscript published. He suggests using every polysyllabic word that you can, convolute your sentences, use the passive voice and use dialect. So far so good. Crawley tells not only how not to be published, but how not to be read just in case you are published. One good suggestion: write about times and places about which you know nothing. He uses inverted British humor so perhaps if you ignore his real words you may learn how to actually become a published author. So far he has produced 13 novels, 2 textbooks and more than a million words in short stories."
