Your New Pride and Joy!

The fact that an author is famous in one country doesn't mean his/her writings will be as recognized in others. I think only a selected group of authors are famous worldwide, and this group is VERY small.

I wrote a book and the proooofreader didn't read it.

[Ari_Racing]

LOL.



Is it true? :S

Today I received the last book of my Grail List. Pics at night.

Now I gotta do a new list, and if things go as I wish, this week I'll have some new nice adquisitions.

Yep i know that, but still. If an author sells millions copies and is extremely popular in some countries, why a publisher would not try publish another book than his first one? The US one was published over 10 years ago. Maybe 15... it's worth a try if you ask me.

Again, it depends. In this case, the best would be to check how many copies sold in USA. If it's a low number, the publishers probably don't think it's worth it.

US Market isn't easy. I have a couple of friends who wrote books and got 'em published in Europe, in big publishers (for example, in Italy with Sperling), and their agents always say the same: If you manage to enter in the US market, you sell the book everywhere. But it doesn't mind if you sell a lot in Europe, because the book can be rejected very easily by the US Publisher.

Anyway.. i (quickly) made some subtitles for the trailer of the documentary.
Although the trailer was done months ago, before the documentary was finished. If you dont know the author the trailer MIGHT sounds a wee bit weird, but... please have a look at it, it only last 2 minutes.
