![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There has never been a worse time to try to get a novel traditionally published, but M L Stedman’s debut was sold at a 9-way publisher auction in the UK and the international rights in 17 territories. (See Being Selective – How do you choose which books to read?) It’s free, it can’t be manipulated and there’s always something behind it. That’s just me multiply that by all the people who already love it two weeks after publication and you have PR gold dust nothing works like word of mouth. I’ve just told a group of friends about this book, one of at least ten conversations since I finished it last week. As I mentioned in a recent post Book Titles – (Don’t) Call It What You Like, I wanted to read The Light Between Oceans from the moment I heard the title: it is original, it conveys the theme and gives a real taste of the beauty and emotion of the story inside the (equally beautiful) cover. Sometimes you just get a feeling about a book. ![]()
