A press release:

The Young Person’s Guide to Bullshit by award-winning author John Grant sold to Dan Harmon at Zest Books by Pam Scoville of the Pamela D. Scoville Literary Agency.

A humorous but highly informative guide for young adults on how to unspin the spin, unpack the lies, and knit up the spinners of yarns in their own mendacity.

John Grant is thrilled by the association with Zest. “What a joy to find a publisher that agrees with me that today’s young adults – and grown-ups too! – shouldn’t be left at the mercy of the mythomaniacs. The Young Person’s Guide to Bullshit offers tools to help discern who is telling the truth and who is just lying or bullshitting, and shows up the fallacies in some of the most widely circulated falsehoods of the day. My wife tells me I’m a world authority on bullshit: Now’s the time to put that expertise to the test.”

Dan Harmon of Zest Books says, “As authority figures gain ever larger platforms for their respective messages, citizens will need to become smarter and more critical consumers of media messages at an even earlier age. Author John Grant is just the person to help young thinkers sharpen their logical reasoning skills and develop reliable methods to separate the bullshit from the truth. We’re honored to have such an accomplished expert on our list.”
