Hi David, I'm convinced you're right there. I actually did an experiment on Authonomy (Harper Collins writers' site/'slush pile) putting up a nondescript work with a much more interesting 'author.' I pulled it off after only 10 days, but in that 10 days, it soared up the ranks. And I've noticed the authors who get TV interviews and such are always attractive. Where does it leave the ordinary, unattractive utterly brilliant ones (like me?)
