When Pete Tarslaw's ex-girlfriend, Polly, announces her upcoming wedding to an Australian in a move that seems precisely calculated to infuriate him, he knows he needs to take his revenge. In an attempt to humiliate Polly at her wedding, he decides to become a famous novelist. After studying the bestsellers list, he manages to churn out a book that's both terrible and destined to be a big seller. Soon, he is rich, famous, and successful. But when his secret gets out, he finds himself pitted against the entire literary community—including Preston Brooks, whose sappy books inspired Pete Tarslaw's— in a battle over the authenticity of modern writing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })How I Became A Famous Novelist is a 2009 debut novel of television writer Steve Hely.

| How I Became a Famous Novelist / int_7a277296 | comment |
Airport Novel: Pete tries this briefly and there are excerpts from more than one. However, he gives up on it and returns to a more "literary" style of work because he finds it easier than an Airport Novel. What he didn't expect is that keeping track of all the plot twists and revelations and dramatic reveals required in Airport Novels is hard compared to just throwing flashbacks and Imagine Spots into a straightforward plot and using his thesaurus freely. | |
