Mark Booth | Mystic Scientists, Strange Happenings, & The Secret History Of The Universe
Publishing Challenges and the Jonathan Black Pseudonym
Mark Booth explains that he adopted the pen name Jonathan Black while working in the London publishing industry to protect his professional reputation. Every major publisher initially rejected his manuscript because it lacked a sales precedent and was deemed too unconventional. The book was eventually picked up by a new company whose founder had been searching for such a perspective for decades.
