SPA Girls Podcast – EP 413- Back Engineering a Bestseller

Today’s topic was prompted by a commenter on youtube who asked us about reverse engineering bestsellers. What makes a book, be it your second one published or your tenth, sell more than others. 

We believe there are many variables to that. Timing, tropes, the first 10% of how a book starts. The cover, blurb, and other popular tv or books that may have similar aspects. 

There are many things to consider, and today we take a dive into why a book can launch a career!

SPA Girls’ bestsellers at time of recording:

Wendy Vella, Sensing Danger

Trudi Jaye, Hidden Danger

Cheryl Phipps w/a CA Phipps, Apple Pie & Arsenic
