To inspire media attention? Not really - to continue the examples used so far, both the da Vinci code and Titanic got as much write-up about "SCANDAL" and "CONTROVERSY" as they did about the products themselves. Doesn't work quite like that for a game console of course, but I think the point still stands. If you can get everybody to talk about you, then you've already won (wild generalization, I know). This has gotten pretty fantastically OT, hasn't it... |
Actually... your point doesn't stand.
Controversy and Scandal are actually things most people LOVE to read about. Knowing what your reader wants to read about is the sign of a good writer.
Outside that, you don't think there have been tons of scandelous and conterversal books that were written that didn't get publicity deals?
So once again... your just wrong. If it was easy enough to just write something controversal... everyone would do it.
Heck, i'd write a book suggesting that Gandhi was a Serial Baby Rapist... i'd be the richest best sold author in the world!
