Writing a bestseller - Your opinions count!
Today I'd like to ask all Goodreads members a big favour, especially those of you who live to read. Intrigued? It's quite simple, I want to know what book will be the next number one best seller worldwide!
Not much to ask is it? Well okay maybe it is a bit of a tall order. Okay then, how about this would you be prepared to tell me what it is you would 'like' to be reading this time next year? Or in other words what do you expect from an author?
Do you want to be terrified or petrified or would you prefer to be romanced gently. Would another book like 50 Shades of Grey float your boat? Some like it spicy and hot,so hot the pages sizzle as you turn them? Still not sure? Okay well just tell us what you want, what you really, really want?
Answer this short questionaire today please and help us to write the books the public want to read. Tell us everything, your likes, your dislikes, help us to understand what makes a book the book everyone must have in their collection.
a. Are you male or female.
b. What Genres do you like?
c. How do you feel about sex and violence?
d. What is your view on the use of bad language in a book?
e. Which age group are you?
1. Early teens.
2. Late teens.
3. Twenties.
4. Thirties
5. Forty and over.
6. Don't wish to say.
f. Who is your favourite author and why?
g. What do you as a reader expect from a book?
h. What makes you reject a book?
i. Would the cover influence you either way into buying or not buying a book.
j. If a book was written by someone you had never heard of was recommended to you would you buy it?
k. How important is the beginning/ending to you?
Your honest opinions are what we need, not the thoughts and ideas of others, help us to give you the next best seller!
Thank you for your time it is much appreciated.
