Just curious if it was a publisher I'd heard of or not.

Who is it then?

I am selling my novel The Nonce to an international audience where sex is legal at the heroine's age as in most countries including Europe so your suggested title would not be appropriate. I would think that my novel would be much appreciated by a younger audinces who do not have your anachronistic moral and "antiquated" views.

It's confidential at the moment because I am considering offers from more than one publisher.

Is this an autobiography by any chance?

How's this? Most spend arduous months getting just one publisher interested in their work, but you have a couple at once?

Did you submit multiple copies? Was an agent involved? I'm very curious now.

All that without a comma. And you're the author round these parts. 'Nonce' is slang for a sexual offender of children. 'Child rapist' is a term for a sexual offender of children. I don't see why 'Nonce' is more appropriate than 'Child rapist'.

A younger audience wouldn't know what 'nonce' means. It's 'Pedo' these days. 'The Pedo' would have been a been a title that the younger generations got, Mike. I know cos I'm like younga dan you an dat...ya get mi? You're like 60 and stuff, innit? But since you were selling this book online, in such a modern digital format, and since you're targeting a young, international audience, I though 'Child Rapists FTW!' really was a 21st century, colloquial term which was not only slightly mocking of the law surrounding sex with adolescents (given previous debates with you on this I thought you'd like that), it also implied you're down with the kids, speak their speak and know what they want (sex with middle-aged men according to some).

It was a brilliant title!

If you change your title to mine, and it sells well, donate my percentage to . Cheers.

How many books have you written , you seem to represent yourself as a literary expert?

Nonce is contempory slang in British Prisons for those that commit rape especially of young children.

The Nonce is a story about unequivocal love between two people and it's theme is "Love conquers all."
