A few months after I finished writing my book\u00a0The Buy Side<\/i>\u00a0and right before it was published, I called my friend Brian McDonald. Brian is an author who knows infinitely more than I do about the world of books, so whenever I have a question about writing or publishing, I call him. Plus, I’ve come to find that writers have to talk to other writers. Otherwise, we wind up so self-absorbed we can’t answer questions like, who’s the president of the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“You know,” Brian said to me on the phone, “when you publish a book you’reautomatically<\/a>\u00a0considered an expert on the topic you wrote about.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Really?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Yup,” he said. “Especially by people who haven’t read the book.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I had to think for a minute. “So I’m an expert on Wall Street, cocaine, insider trading, and escorts?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Sure are,” he said with a chuckle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“And how to make and lose $10 million?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Uh-huh,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“And Golden Handcuffs.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“What the heck are those?” he asked.<\/p>\n
