It says that he's received a hundred variations of that question, and has opted to respond so there's an answer out there and people can stop asking him.

And while the phrasing is eyeroll-worthy, the question itself - how do I market my novel about [insert theme here] - is a reasonably common one. There are schools of thought that insist that all good writing must be meaningful, and prioritize meaning over story, so it shouldn't be surprising that there are novice writers who genuinely believe that publishers are looking for a message rather than a story. They're wrong, but having someone who's experienced in the field point that out is the only way they're going to learn they're wrong.
