The reading that I took note of was the "Best-Paid Writing Jobs" due to the fact a novelist was included. You often here jokes about how a writing will be a starving artist or how hard it is to become successful as one. It is true. The way to become successful as a novelist is one of two ways. One you get incredibly lucky and have a publisher say "This is amazing!". Two is that you work yourself to the bone at it. I have heard stories of people self publishing or working themselves ragged to make their book a success. The interesting part about being a novelist is that there are more options now than there were back when the starving artist jokes started.
So, how can one make a self published or unpublished book popular? This is how "How to create a buzz for your unpublished book" interested me. We often see it displayed on television or in books where a writer hands their manuscript to a publisher and leaves it to the hands of fate. However, in the article "How to create a buzz for your unpublished book" describes multiple ways on how one can create a 'buzz' about your book. It goes into making public appearances, charging fairly, and a bunch of other elements that come into play. It made me wonder that are authors not successful just because they get rejected or are they unsuccessful because they do not wish to do the work that comes after handing the manuscript to a publisher.
I found these two interesting because being a novelist is one of the things I wanted to do. I just never thought of putting such work into a novel after handing in the manuscript. I used to think the hardest part of being a novelist was writing a novel and getting it accepted by a publisher. Now I wonder if the work after that is the more difficult part.
