One of the things that has not moved since the ebook was released and that continues to grow is the drive for self-publishing, a phenomenon that more and more people participate in it in a professional way. So it is not strange that books like «The bestseller code»Have so many sales and success.
This book seeks or deals with how to write and what topics to write in a book or ebook to make it a true bestseller or rather, the best seller in the country.
The created book is made by Jodie Archer and Matthew Jockers. Archer is a former Penguin editor while Jockers is an associate professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Both have been studying more than 20.000 works that have appeared in the lists of best sellers in the United States, especially the New York Times list, a true benchmark on best sellers that can well be extrapolated to other countries.
The authors of The Bestseller Code have worked with more than 20.000 editorial titles
Thus, with these lists in hand, the authors have dissected each work up to find common elements that readers liked and liked, with which a code has been formed, the code of the bestseller.
Personally I do not think that such code will be functional or it is a great truth but it is still curious and interesting to compare with the types of books that were written in other times. A striking example is the case of the protagonists, where readers prefer normal people with their flaws to mythical characters or heroes far from the common human.
In any case, the book is not only available in several languages but we can also find it in large bookstores such as Amazon. However Will it be the ebook that Amazon uses to guide KDP users or will it just sell it? What do you think?
