While there are a lot of famous novelists and writers, there are some that become more famous than others. A good example is that of J. K. Rowling, and the Harry Potter series. After selling 350 million copies, Ms. Rowling established an entire culture based off Harry Potter which has included movies, merchandise, even an installation of a ride at a famous amusement park. It is also reported this work has inspired more than one new American novelist over the years.
These hidden and disguised truths often relate to current events going on in the world. If a novel only had characters talking to one another and no other scene information, readers would become bored quite quickly. One good reason for documenting amusements, events, travel and life changing moments. All of which can make for good scenes in a book after having been reformed, rethought, reorganized and disguised.
Some years ago, Granta dedicated an issue related to new fiction based on the 20 writers believed to be the best young novelists at the time. At that time, some of these writers were Jeffrey Eugenides, Edwidge Danticat and Sherman Alexie. All of which were under the age of thirty-five at the time of publication.
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.
For the most part, fiction needs to be 90% fiction, and non-fiction 100% truth. There is a blur at times between fiction and non-fiction based on the lifestyle, morals and values of the writer as well as those found within the pages of a book or novel. Generally, the main characters are going to reflect more of the writer than other characters though most often an author will see a number of elements and traits which reflect the life of the author in the story as a while.
If people one uses for characters in a story are not disguised properly, individuals can often take notice with some of the writings. It is often hard for individuals reading real stories about oneself, even in a fictional novel not to get upset. To avoid this, it is always good to incorporate both positive and negative behaviors in all characters.
New writers might want to consider looking into the ones which pay in publication. For, the more publications released, often the more readers which can often equate to more success in the long run. It is most every fiction writer's goal to be listed on the New York Time's Best Seller list, this is a good goal, but also one not many writers realize.
Authors wishing to become published can do so now much easier than ever before in history. Those wishing to publish material whether fiction, non-fiction, poetry, prose, short stories or white papers, can find a number of options to do so online. Those who prefer more traditional channels can still submit a query letter and outline to traditional publication houses.
