Quoting Jason Pargin, I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom, St. Martin's Press, Ch. Afterword, p. 392, 2024

This book was not the work of an expert, unless two decades as a professional storyteller has made me an expert in that particular field. Even then, it’s not like you have to take a test and get a license. I’m only here because, in the late ’90s, I realized they’ll basically let anybody do it.
