Top tips from PR guru, Tory Lyne-Pirkis

Network. Runaway bestsellers always start out as
word-of-mouth sellers, with friends recommending the book to each other
until everyone is reading it. You need to spread the word about your book
as far and wide as possible. You can do this in the real world by
attending book events and getting to know your local bookshop, local
librarians, English teachers at your local school and organisers of your
local festival. In the virtual world, you can network using Twitter and
Facebook. On Twitter, you can follow and tweet at influencers in the
publishing industry, and you can build a following of people who are
interested in your work, who will hopefully recommend your book to
others.

Q and A with Jacqueline Burns
Please could you
tell us what your new book is about?
The idea that while you can't
guarantee a bestseller, there are classic ingredients that bestsellers
possess, a lot of them learnable. And there are things that will
harm your chances that you can avoid.
Why did you
decide to write this book?
When Victoria Roddam of Hodder
approached me to write the book, my first thought was, 'what can I say
that hasn't already been said? Then it occurred to me that there
was a lot of new material: the recent mega sellers and the controversy
they'd generated; the rise of indy publishers; and the idea of that
authors need to be Authorpreneurs. Suddenly I had a lot of things
to say.
How can it help
unpublished writers?
It gets inside the mechanics of a
bestselling book. It takes a writer from the first stages of
writing, redrafting and publishing through to promoting their book and
beyond.
