Shakespeare Reference in How To Sell Every Magazine Article You Write

Nearly every book I read contains at least one Shakespeare reference, including Lisa Collier Cool’s How To Sell Every Magazine Article You Write. Cool writes, “Look for titles in quotations, making sure you haven’t picked something too common like ‘All the World’s a Stage’” (p. 25). In As You Like It, Jacques says, “All the world’s a stage/And all the men and women merely players/They have their exits and their entrances/And one man in his time plays many parts.” Shakespeare also mentioned this idea in The Merchant Of Venice, where Antonio says the world is “A stage where every man must play a part.” How To Sell Every Magazine Article You Write was published in 1986.
