William Morris Agent Rejects 'Starbook' Proposals Without Opening Them

After hearing that Starbucks would begin publishing and selling books in its stores, Michael Levy, self-proclaimed “professional optimist” and author of several spirtual books, says he contacted the William Morris agency handling the project for Starbucks, and promptly sent three book proposals.

The agency’s response, June 12:

“Thank you for allowing William Morris to consider Ultra-Violet Haiku Delights, The Joys of Live Alchemy, and Invest With A Genius. We have had the opportunity to review your submissions, and while we appreciate your interest in Starbucks initiative, we have concluded that your project is not a right match for Starbucks at this time.”
