: Re: Is my book too weird to be published? This question may have already been answered, but I'm just making sure. So, I'm just making a silly book for fun. It's short (compared to other books)

There are some very odd writers with passionate fans, and sometimes critical acclaim or even fame and fortune. Daniel Pinkwater, Samuel Delany, Steven Hall, Francesca Block, Haruki Murakami, Lewis Carroll, Dav Pikey and Walter Moers are just a few of the very idiosyncratic writers who might make that list.

But most of them are also extraordinarily good writers, and/or have other qualities that make them successful. Being odd isn't enough.

To put it another way --every kid on every playground writes parodies of popular music. But there's only one Weird Al Yankovic.
