Books-     Exceeding the Limits of Tradition  
Skywalk
A memoir by Rick
Wallenda
Writing a memoir is as confusing as you
think. I expended great energy for several
years, and still yield unsatisfactory results.
One editor told me it needed more sensationalism.
She meant dirt. Two publishers turned the manuscript
down, and two others offered unacceptable
terms. The book must undergo a serious revision
process now. E.B. White said that the
best writing is rewriting. As I work
through the book, chapter by chapter, I
hope eventually to deliver a gripping product,
that engages all who open the pages.
My search for a publisher continues. Presently
a casual reader holds about half the
manuscript, and soon I expect input. This
process takes time, but my continued diligence
promises good results. Expect updates here
in this web site. The excitement, and publicity generated
from my record breaking Skywalk at Kings
Island will undoubtedly attract someone with connections
in the literary world. Publication is soon.
