For a first time author to be picked up by a big publishing house it depends on a variety of factors.
Here Are 4 Things To Consider:
Commercial Potential: Publishers are looking for books that have the potential to sell well and make money. If a debut author’s book has a unique concept, strong writing, and is likely to appeal to a wide audience, it may be considered a hot commodity.
Quality of Writing: While commercial potential is important, publishers also look for quality writing. If a debut author’s writing is exceptional, they may attract the attention of publishers who are looking for fresh new voices.
Author Platform: Publishers often take into account an author’s platform or online presence when considering a debut book. If an author has a large following on social media or a successful blog, it may increase the chances of their book being considered a hot commodity.
Genre Trends: Certain genres may be more popular at different times, and publishers may be looking for debut authors who are writing in those genres. For example, if dystopian YA novels are popular, a debut author writing in that genre may be in high demand.
