      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

        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.
