Mike Tyson Book Shopped To Publishers, Started While He Was In Prison

New York Post:

MIKE Tyson is ready to spill the beans. But the one-time heavyweight champ doesn't want any leaks, so his book proposal is being seen by only five publishers. ... Tyson started writing while he was in prison. "Me and my cellmate would read to each other at night," Tyson told one editor. "One night I would read out loud to him, the next night he would read out loud to me. And we would do that back and forth until the book was completed."

He might as well write with his right hand. He wasn't able to go to the body with his right hand since the Carl "The Truth" Williams fight.

1. To ensure the authenticity of the the author's work Tyson's book will be published in the original purple crayon it was written in.

2. Mike Tyson can sell a book but George W. Bush can't?
Even though they are publishing them in purple crayon?
That should help GWB....

We'll know it's authentic when it hits Oprah's bookclub, right?

Tyson is looking forward to a lucrative book deal that pays lots of money.

I bet Steele is circling the wagons, in hopes he and his sister can get some of the money from the ex-brother-in-law and ex-husband.

After all Tyson (the convicted felon) did endorse Steele and is his BFF.

He started writing while he was in prison in 1992 to 1995 - and now he is all the way up to page 3.

It appears that using correct grammar was NOT a necessary requirement for Tyson the AUTHOR.

"Me and my cellmate"? .............. "My cellmate and I"

He started writing while in prison, or learned to write while in prison, which is it again?
