I stumbled across a post by John Green, the guy who wrote The Fault In Our Stars. Most of you know what book I'm talking about. It's been #1 for months and the movie grossed almost 50 million opening weekend (on like a 5 or 10 million budget).
Here, John Green talks about why he thinks the book was a success: John Green Tumblr
One thing that stood out to me is how unorthodox he and his editor were. One thing he did was sign the entire first printing. Think about how long that must have taken. It certainly has given me some ideas.
Another thing: this is his fourth book. He's been at it for 10 years. No overnight success folks, just hard work. He's also built a youtube platform of over 1 million subscribers. Anyway, this is a valuable read. While some of us were scratching our heads in another thread about 50 Shades, wondering how it took off, I'd say with this book there are some big takeaways outside of luck.
