How to be An Author in Two Days: Move to China

Monday July 6, 2009
Two Chinese writers have published an instant book about Michael Jackson after working two days straight and only consuming coffee and cigarettes.

The 130,000-word fasterpiece "Moonwalk in Paradise," was available for purchase at Chinese bookstores just two days ago.

Authors Jiang Xiaoyu and Xing Han partnered with publishing house Xiandai to create the instant book. They started writing as soon as they heard of Jackson's death and apparently based their research on their "accumulated knowledge about the king of pop".

China Daily reports that more than 10 Chinese publishing houses are also planning to have instant books about Jackson.
