Question

What is the secret to be A BEST SELLER?

Answer 1

A best seller is a book that is hyped to the max by the publisher. In order to get that treatment, normally you must already be famous, so that the publisher can use your name and photo to push the book.

First books that are best sellers are very, very rare, but nobody can give you a formula for writing those. You might start by reading the first best selling books of several authors, especially the ones in your field of special interest. For example, J K Rowling had a unique success with her first book about Harry Potter, but that was far more original than anything in the field of youth literature for as long as anyone can remember.

If you have a really very different book that will meet a large need in a large segment of the market, you may be able to lure a publisher into promoting it enough to be a best-seller. Good luck.
