Paperback Writer

July Challenge: Beatles Song Titles

"Dear Sir or Madam
will you read my book?
It took me years to write
will you take a look?"

After my wife died I found many letters she wrote similar
to the first lines of Paperback Writer by McCartney/Lennon.
In 1979 she had a story chosen for publication by Isaac Azimov.
In the photo is my copy of the paperback anthology which was
reprinted many times. Also in the photo are early drafts of
her 350 page novel which she so tried hard to get published.

Your wife must have been an accomplished writer to have a story selected by Isaac Azimov! Truly a significant achievement for which you can be proud.
Perfect image for the song Leo!!!
