When it comes to authors, there are as many different stories as there are of the people who created them. These stories can often be written in a variety of styles. When it comes to the new American Novelist, there is often a great deal of truth blended within the fictional aspects of the story line.
Different writers vary when it comes to writing, editing and story telling styles. Some write in third person, others in first. There are also those who can create dynamic interactions between characters and those who simply use narration. Either way, it is important that these writers keep writing and that books keep selling.
Magazines like Ganta, and others who release a regular list of young authors and publications are a big part of the marketing process. Though, whether creating a traditional manuscript to send to publication houses, or uploading one as an online e-book, marketing is key when it comes to selling a novel. When and where possible, authors often arrange readings at local bookstores and libraries in order to introduce oneself and one's work to the local community and world at large.
Fiction, often based in truth, has to be cleverly disguised. Characters, based on actual individuals need to rearrange, reform and reorganize each character so that none can be identified. Writers always need to be careful with language so as not to create issues of libel or slander when using real individuals reformed into fictional characters. Otherwise, the profits one sees from a Novel may very well go to court costs in association with the content, whether intentional or otherwise.
With that being said, for fiction to be fiction and not non-fiction, there has to be a strong element of the imagination. Names must be changed to protect the innocent, and the story needs to be slanted to a degree in which it can not be easily recognized. All in all, when writing fiction, the bulk of the story should rest on the imagination with characters developed on individuals in real life but with differing backgrounds and story lines from reality.
If not, the story can often become more of a biography with chapters of truth than a novel. Fiction is often more exciting than real life. As such, most novels are either murder mysteries, romance or story telling related to a specific situation.
New authors may want to look into publishing a book in hard, soft, and e-book versions. A number of online book publishers now offer this service. While it is often up to the writer to determine this cost, it is often good to keep it as low and as close to the original cost as possible.
The three best ways to get published are send in a query letter and outline to a publisher, self-publish the book or send to an internet publishing company which can provide hard, soft and e-books for a nominal fee. Once the writer has purchased these then each type can be sold at a slight mark up to cover the cost of publication and get the writer's name on the market.
