Susan Gunelius, former blogger here at One Book Two Book, announced the release of her first book, Harry Potter - The Story of a Global Business Phenomenon. Congratulations, Susan. How exciting!
Susan explores the story of the business and marketing behind the Harry Potter brand, and asks the questions:
1. How did the Harry Potter brand become so successful?
2. Can the success of Harry Potter be duplicated?
Your book should make very interesting and informative reading, Susan. I’ve always thought there must be great promotion and marketing behind the book to get it started in the first place and then keep the momentum going because it seemed to go against rules of good writing advocated by editors (about what they’ll accept) and taught at writing classes.
I wonder, too, as you do: Can others repeat this phenomenon?
It will be interesting to see, especially after they read your book.

Thank you, Mary Emma. The book will be available in the U.S., etc. in August through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc., but it can be pre-ordered now (or delivered now through U.K. booksellers such as the U.K. Amazon site).
Congratulations, Susan!
Thanks for letting our viewers know when and where your book will be available, Susan.
Pleased you visited One Book Two Book, Hil. Isn’t this fantastic news about Susan’s book? I’m sure she’ll answer some of the questions I’ve had about how the publishers got word out there about Harry Potter and made it a world in itself. It’s always seemed to me a fantastic PR program, but I didn’t know the details.
