Comment se faire repérer par un éditeur ?

At the 2018 Paris Book Fair, Charlotte Allibert, Managing Director of Librinova, moderated a roundtable discussion with author Grégoire Delacourt (published by JC Lattès and then Grasset), publisher Florian Lafani (Fleuve Editions), and Sabrina Arab, Editorial Director of HarperCollins France. They answered all the questions authors might have about how to get noticed by a publisher. Florian Lafani and Sabrina Arab explained that each publishing house has its own editorial line when it comes to publishing a new book and showcasing a new voice. While this editorial line is mentioned in manuscript rejection letters sent to authors, it isn't always the only reason. To get noticed by a publisher, you don't necessarily have to write a "trendy" book or try to please everyone. When you write a book into which you pour a part of your soul, your investment shines through in the reading experience, and this can be the deciding factor in convincing a publisher to publish your work. Trends fluctuate, but when a book resonates for what it is, it will continue to resonate over time. Therefore, publishers advise against following trends because it's not the best way to ensure long-term success. To expand their catalogs, publishers communicate and issue calls for manuscripts. However, the rise of self-publishing in recent years has prompted publishers to pay closer attention to this trend. Indeed, many authors prefer to connect directly with the public rather than sending their manuscript to publishers and waiting several months for a response.
