Jones goes Hollywood . . .

by

It broke on the scene like gangbusters in the literary press: Gerard Jones’s Everyone Who’s Anyone in Adult Trade Publishing. Jones listed almost every agent and publisher and documented his attempt to place a novel he’d written by posting his e-mail correspondence with many of them—often, to their chagrin. It has been one of the most popular literary websites on the Internet ever since. But this weekend Jones launched a surprising new version of the site, with an all new title: Everyone Who’s Anyone in Adult Trade Publishing and Tineseltown, Too. Among the new categories: Tinseltown Literary & Talent Agents,” “Tinseltown Gobbed-Up Movie Production Companies,” and “Tinseltown Independent Movie Production Companies.”
