Marketing: key to producing bestsellers
Books are often made popular by how well they are promoted, rather than how well they are written. At least this is certainly true of some novels.
Bestsellers (best-selling books) 暢銷書
Behind every bestseller there is a huge investment into the promoted campaign.
We invested a considered sum of money into it, and the income is worth the investment.
Before Rich Dad Poor Dad was printed in China, the company had it promoted in more than 40 advertisements in newspapers and magazines and over 600 websites in just one month.
Books have to be advertised to get the public’s attention.
There are so many books company in the market. If you don’t promote it and just rely on word of month, it’s doomed to fail.
To promote a book, a publishing house first decides on a good topic and invites a write to write on it.
If you find the right topic, the topic readers are interested in, you find the market, then you have done half the job of making your book succeed.
What I like reading best are biographies of all kinds of people, especially those successful ones, for they are educational, can lift my spirit, give me energy and lead me to a right road.
關(guān)于Gwendolyn Brooks格溫多林·布魯克斯
Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She had more than twenty books published. She was known around world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.
Gwendolyn Brooks wrote many poems about being black during the Nineteen-Forties and Nineteen-Fifties. Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.
Gwendolyn Brooks once said that she wrote about what she saw and heard in the street. She said she found most of her material looking out of the window of her second-floor apartment house in Chicago, Illinois.
In Nineteen-Fifty, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African-American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called "Annie Allen." "Annie Allen" is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor.
One of Gwendolyn Brooks most famous poems is called "We Real Cool". It is a short poem that talks about young people feeling hopeless:
"We real cool. We left school. We lurk late. We strike straight. We sing sin. We thin gin. We jazz June. We die soon."
關(guān)于ERNEST HEMINGWAY海明威
"A writer is always alone, always an outsider," Ernest Hemingway said. Others said that of the many people he created in his books, Hemingway was his own best creation.
The novel was called the sun also rises. It is about young Americans in Europe after world war one. The war had destroyed their dreams. And it had given them nothing to replace those dreams.
The book was an immediate success. At the age of twenty-five Ernest Hemingway was famous.
Hemingway's sentences were short, the way he had been taught to write at the Kansas City Star newspaper. He wrote about what he knew and felt. He used few descriptive words. His statements were clear and easily understood.
He was able to paint in words what he saw and felt.
His new book told about an American soldier who served with the Italian army during world war one. He meets an English nurse, and they fall in love. They flee from the army, but she dies during (22) childbirth. Some of the events are taken from Hemingway's service in Italy. The book is called a Farewell to arms.
A farewell to arms was very successful.
In nineteen-sixty-one Ernest Hemingway killed himself. Among the papers he left was one that described what he liked best:
"to stay in places and to leave...to trust, to distrust...to no longer believe and believe again...to watch the (43) changes in the seasons...to be out in boats...to watch the snow come, to watch it go...to hear the rain...and to know where I can find what I want."
