Getting a book published can be a frustrating process, although now there are so many more ways of bringing your idea to people’s attention.
I’m going to pop a few hints and tips here over the next few weeks so that you can slowly consider how you would like to get your ideas into the public at large.
Novelty and Imaginative Books
Even though many writers slave over copy for months or years, others can turn an novel idea into print with a lot less labour. Look at these 3 examples:
Everything Men Know About Women: 20th Anniversary Editon Not so good to re-read, it falls neatly into the novelty gift that can sell in 1,000’s if you get it displayed in the right places. |
|
The Mysteries of Harris Burdick (Portfolio Edition) |
|
The Complete Book of Questions It is also amusing that a good idea can be imitated more easily than a storyline! |
All these are different ideas whose value lies in the thoughts they trigger, not the word count.
Have fun with your book ideas!
