Seeking Emerging Literature

Where is the next Ernest Hemingway, JRR Tolkien, or Arthur C Clark going to come from?  Can you honestly point at any of the current bestsellers, and truthfully say – “This is a classic?”  People with literary talent are likely out there now—but without having the market hype behind them, they will probably never become known.  They will go back to being the mechanics, schoolteachers and shop clerks they were before they wrote.  And the world’s readers will have squandered a literary classic that never came into being.

Books by the huge publishers have;
1.    Prettier jackets.  Publishers have a staff of highly paid graphic artists and marketers.  Emerging authors have likely done the cover themselves.
2.    More polished text.  Publishers have an army of proofreaders and editors.  Emerging writers often have to proofread their own.
3.    Better Exposure In Bookstores.  Publishers/Distributors pay to co-opt shelve space in the prominent locations.  The emerging author’s works are hidden away in the consignment area-and the author might never be paid.  Click My Lit can help out here.
4.    Better Testimonials and Advertising.  Publishers have the best that ‘MONEY can buy’.  The emerging writer has to wait until someone actually reads their work.
But do any of these REALLY make the literature intrinsically better?
Big Publishers – you can ‘Click My Lit’ – I’m standing up for emerging literature.

Click My Lit will search out literary works and showcase writers that haven’t gained notice yet.  We’ll provide some marketing assistance for them through the Click My Lit project.  Click My Lit aims to give lesser-known literature some readership, while providing lit readers a wider choice of reading entertainment.

Aspiring authors and poets, even self-published, if some of your work is currently on the market, contact Click My Lit and we’ll arrange to get your lit  linked in.

Readers, let us know what you think of the homespun literature we bring to your attention.  We can all work together to make the literary world a healthy environment for new writing talent to flourish.
