She says she sold “two books”, her novels become bestsellers

This writer had difficulty selling her books, but after a post on X (Twitter), her novels became bestsellers.

Very few authors manage to publish or sell their books

We writers are not all Bernard Werber. It can be very difficult to find a place in the literary world. A sometimes elitist environmentvery codified and where authors swarm without finding a place to publish their works.

Moreover, on average, only 4% of authors manage to get published in a traditional publishing house. And, even among the best, you sometimes have to endure numerous failures and hundreds of rereads to succeed.

Self-publishing may then appear to be the solution. However, self-publishing does not guarantee you sales at all. For example, it is very complicated to promote your self-published book alone.

Finally, whether with a publishing house or through self-publication, many authors sell little and making a living from it is almost impossible, with a average gain per book of 2 euros.

This was the case of this writer who assured that she had not sold that “two books” since the publication of his two novels.

The novelist Vicky Ball was not very well known before this story. A story that took place shortly before Christmas 2024. While she was presenting her works at an event, the author posted a photo of herself behind her stand saying that she had sold “two books”.

In this post, the author was rather happy since she also explains that she has already attended fairs without selling a single book.

Very quickly, the post went viral. It was unexpected, but it worked very well on X (formerly Twitter).

The 48 year old British didn't even have time to realize what was happening. The Internet had done its work and, ultimately, its works, Powerless et Abandonedwere purchased by many people as a show of support.

His tweet made more than 25 million views and one of his novels even ended bestseller on Amazon in the USA! A very beautiful story that gives a lot of hope (and faith in humanity too!).
