Discovering A New American Novelist

By Tanisha Berg


While there are a lot of famous novelists and writers, there are some that become more famous than others. A good example is that of J. K. Rowling, and the Harry Potter series. After selling 350 million copies, Ms. Rowling established an entire culture based off Harry Potter which has included movies, merchandise, even an installation of a ride at a famous amusement park. It is also reported this work has inspired more than one new American novelist over the years.

Different writers vary when it comes to writing, editing and story telling styles. Some write in third person, others in first. There are also those who can create dynamic interactions between characters and those who simply use narration. Either way, it is important that these writers keep writing and that books keep selling.

Magazines like Ganta, and others who release a regular list of young authors and publications are a big part of the marketing process. Though, whether creating a traditional manuscript to send to publication houses, or uploading one as an online e-book, marketing is key when it comes to selling a novel. When and where possible, authors often arrange readings at local bookstores and libraries in order to introduce oneself and one's work to the local community and world at large.

As fiction is often based, to some extent, on truth, these young authors all seem to incorporate this element into writing styles. Generally, all seem to incorporate the issues which both bother and inspire creative minds. Others, tend to write about more positive experiences within the realm of what some consider fictional truth, or truthful fiction.

Writers also need to have a wide vocabulary. An active imagination is key in writing, whether based in fact or fiction. As always, it is important that names be changed to protect the innocent when it comes to any actual activities associated with reality unless the writer is working on a biography, or auto-biography. Lastly, it's imperative the story be written in a way in which readers can follow and understand the plot, themes and synopsis of the storyline.

If people one uses for characters in a story are not disguised properly, individuals can often take notice with some of the writings. It is often hard for individuals reading real stories about oneself, even in a fictional novel not to get upset. To avoid this, it is always good to incorporate both positive and negative behaviors in all characters.

New writers might want to consider looking into the ones which pay in publication. For, the more publications released, often the more readers which can often equate to more success in the long run. It is most every fiction writer's goal to be listed on the New York Time's Best Seller list, this is a good goal, but also one not many writers realize.

The three best ways to get published are send in a query letter and outline to a publisher, self-publish the book or send to an internet publishing company which can provide hard, soft and e-books for a nominal fee. Once the writer has purchased these then each type can be sold at a slight mark up to cover the cost of publication and get the writer's name on the market.
