![]() ![]() The letter to HarperCollins, mailed by Grogan’s agent, Laurie Abkemeier of DeFiore and Company, is posted in full on Romenesko. It was Grogan’s Inquirer column on the occasion of golden retriever Marley’s death that engendered such huge response that Grogan first realized the potential of a book on the subject of “the world’s worst dog.” After Grogan quit the Inquirer in February (after being deliciously called out by Buzz Bissinger for “mailing it in” in January), the paper - which owns the copyright on Grogan’s columns - sold the collection to Vanguard in April. ![]() According to Publishers Weekly, his agent has even sent a letter to Grogan’s Marley & Me publisher, HarperCollins, publicly distancing Grogan from the book.īad Dogs Have More Fun is a collection of Grogan’s columns for the Philadelphia Inquirer. ![]() That’s because the book, Bad Dogs Have More Fun, won’t earn Grogan a dime - and is being published without his approval. John Grogan, author of male tearjerker (and mega-best-seller) Marley & Me, is hoping that you won’t buy his new book, coming out this September from Perseus imprint Vanguard Press. ![]() Courtesy of HarperCollins (Marley, author photo) Courtesy of Vanguard Press (Bad Dogs) ![]()
