    No you didn’t. People don’t buy the memoirs of random people. The publisher can move heaven and Earth but people still wouldn’t change the fact that the audience will never exist

      Sure they do, all the time, as long as it’s an interesting story.

      More than half of the books on this list are by “random” ie, non famous people.

      Who said anything about memoirs? The thing about “the memoirs of random people” is not that they were written by non-famous people - it’s that they are about non-famous people.

      Remember Oprah and a million little pieces. I’m pretty sure that guy was a complete unknown before he made that shit up.
