How to cook a book that one can successfully sell across the world, as one’s own work!
Name of the Dish – Manuscript Found in Accra

Name of the Chef – Paulo Coelho

Cuisine Type – Spiritual Fiction/Fantasy/History/Whatever else you want to put this into!

Ingredients – Spirituality, Religion, Mystery, History, Occult Genre, Works of Kahlil Gibran, Zen Masters, Rumi, Gnostics, Self Improvement

Recipe – First, pick the main, favorite ingredient ‘Kahlil Gibran’, a bookful. If the quantity is the size of ‘The Prophet’ much better. Then, add the ingredients of Zen, Leo Buscaglia, Rumi, Art of War, Biblical wisdom, Bhagavad Gita and Gnosticism in equal quantity. Knead the flour well for about one year. To have the onlookers (read readers) convinced about the originality of the dish, sprinkle it with the usual colors and sweeteners like alchemy, soul of the world, warriors and so on, which have started to appear like your intellectual property (!).

Once you are convinced that the bowl is full and the flour looks neatly kneaded, send it for print and get it printed, with a lot of people creating hype and making gullible readers ready to jump the bandwagon. You have a hot-selling book on hand and a shameless pride to show the world!
