Sarah Silverman on her issues with platform
I’m not writing this book to share wisdom or to inspire people. I’m writing this book because I am a famous comedian, which is how it works now. If you’re famous, you get to write a book, and not the other way around, so the next Dave Eggers better get a TV show or kill someone or something.
So, no Sarah Silverman didn’t actually make a comment about having issues with platform and she’d probably think I was talking about the 4-inch-high marshmallow shoes we all had in 1976 if I asked her. But this quote from the foreword in her new memoir, The Bed Wetter, touches on what irks me about platform-based publishing. I will eventually write a whole rant on this, but for now, I’ll let Sarah speak for me.
