Should you submit them with the authors' names?

[Roger Slater]

I think that Pat said over on Facebook that she would find it helpful if you indicated whether or not the second title is real or invented. The first title, of course, must be real. Just do what makes sense so that Pat can both get the joke and see that you've followed the contest guidelines. To that end, I would say that you could supply the author's name, perhaps in parenthesis, if it's not obvious, though I imagine she will vet each title on Amazon before choosing it as a winner.

Bob, where do you send this?

Here's the link to the details, Marion.

Roger - Bob Schechter won this week's Style Invitational - congratulations! To give you an idea of the personal treatment contestants get, here is what the Empress wrote about him:

It’s the first winning entry — but by no means the first ink — for rookie phenom Robert Schechter, who’s blotted up 46 inks, including this seventh “above-the-fold” entry, since his debut in the limerick contest of Week 931. While limericks and other poems are what brought him to the Invite — he’s been published many times in light-verse journals — Robert has since plunged into all aspects of the Invitational and the Devotees page, often sending the maximum 25 entries in a week (not this time, though — nobody sent that many, not even Mad Maxers Kevin Dopart and Jeff Contompasis). I hope that by winning the Inkin’ Memorial, Robert isn’t too disappointed that he’s now out of the running for the Losers’ Cantinkerous award, the plaque that goes to the highest-scoring Loser who’s never finished in first place. (For several years now, that honor has rested with 76-time Loser Kyle Hendrickson, according to Elden Carnahan’s all-time stats.)
