WGT: come together

Book Discussion

I started a book discussion on several sites (Goodreads and some FB pages) about Fifty Shades of Grey. Here's the link to my review http://www.waenetwork.com/group/bibliophiles/forum/topics/what-makes-50-shades-of-grey-so-sellable. I also posted it on Amazon. It became controversial soon. I'm not in the big league and admit to harboring some jealousy but the book has few writing merits; a great marketing campaign , however. Since I'm the author of a contemporary women's book with some raunchy passages that isn't on the bestseller list, I need to find out. Not that I'm into Erotica. The book 50 Shades for me smacks too much of Maquis de Sade's Story of O.
A new writing/publishing magazine - highly recommended- I stumbled upon has a brilliant article on it, breaking down demographics etc.:http://www.publishingtalk.eu/infographics/50-shades-of-grey/#comment-3016 If you're interested at all. After subscribing to this new publication I found that one of my all time fav writers, Carol Drinkwater, is involved. Her book: The Olive Farm changed my life. After my experience on an Irish , organic farm--guess why! Hope I can finish writing that book soon. Siggy
