It’s Rob
Parnell here with something that I’m sure will
interest you.
When it comes to the mainstream bestseller lists,
one particular genre stands tall. So much so, it’s
probably seen as the most ‘respectable’.
It is, of course, the thriller.
Not only do thrillers make authors and their publishers
very rich, they also make the most money in terms
of film and TV rights, generating vast revenues
worldwide.
Thrillers are also in hot demand for translation, serial
and resell rights. Authoring a series of thrillers can
literally catapult your career and your earning
potential to the stars!
Just look at the success of John Grisham, Jeffrey
Deaver, James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs,
Richard North Patterson, Jonathan Kellerman, Michael
Crichton, Sara Peretsky - the list goes on and on -
all of whom make a very respectable living crafting taut,
psychological suspense fiction.
Wouldn’t you like to emulate the success of
these authors?
Sure you would.
Now you can, the Easy Way.
A year in development and hot off the press, I am very
proud and excited to announce my latest e-course:
