The description is very, very, similar to the plot of my novel. The only difference from this snippet is that his main character is an actor. Mine is your average slacker. lol
The playwright attended my college immediately after my novel was released. I was well known to the undergraduates as a "notable" young alum and received an award from the Black Student Alliance primarily because of the book. The playwright was a sophomore at the time.
My book was in the campus bookstore and in a few other "free" collections around campus.
I don't recall having ever met the guy.
He is also a member of a fraternity.
I have sent a message to my mentor who is also on faculty at the college to ask for his advice.
What do you all think?
