Affiliate Marketing Secrets

…the similarities between the most popular novels?
Let’s take Harry Potter, Twilight, and the Hunger Games. What do they ALL have in common? Their stories are a mishmash of two primary genres/major themes. That’s one of the secrets to their success (;
● Harry Potter—epic good versus evil fantasy and classroom setting/preteens and teenagers going though the worries of school
● Twilight—romance/forbidden and paranormal creatures (creating a sub-genre in its popularity)
● Hunger Games—dystopia and forbidden love/romance
Another common factor in the success of the named novels is that they all target to the young adult market, aided with the use of universally relatable themes.
Just thought I’d share this with everyone in case someone has a case of writer’s block 🙂

Hey guys,
I sent my query letter off last night and today I got a reply from the agent saying that my book isn’t really her type.
But! I’m wondering if it has anything to do with my query? A friend of mine showed me how to write one but i got refused by two agents, hmmm…..
I’m going to paste the first chapter of my query and if you guys could give me an honest opinion and some suggestions, that would make my day! This is my first time and I really need some help :/
Dear Mrs ??????,
May I please send you my novel, The Freak in Me, for your consideration? It’s approximately 55,814 words and it’s an occurring story, telling the story of a seventeen year old girl who believed she was kidnapped but thanks to her trauma her mind had blocked everything. One day a striking young man walks into her life and she quickly falls in love but little does she know, her life is going to get a lot worse and later discovers a hidden dark secret she never knew she had. This novel has a mixture of thriller/drama/comedy and it’s aimed it at the young adult market.
Thank you so much for your time! 🙂
