Newscasters and other entertainment programs that share space with figures known contributors and television world. Publishers are the raffle and followers of their programs flock to firms and meetings with authors, making these the best literary novels companion summer break and driving sales publishers in many cases.
Mara Torres was one of the first to initiate this “boom” literature in recent years. Even got to be Planeta Prize finalist in 2012 to “Imaginary Life”, a story of heartbreak and reinvent oneself in life. Two years later, it seems that Monica Carrillo has taken it over from the stories of feelings and emotions to “La Candela Light”, his first published novel this year which is now the ninth edition.

Being a familiar face acts as push sales , but is not always thing. Monica Carrillo believes that “extend channel television exposure,” though agrees with other colleagues who have already published several novels, “if you do not like, do not sell more issues.” Purification Plaza, editor of the fictional Metro area, believes not enough to be a media figure for the novel to succeed. “Being known is a plus to a good novel. If the work does not hold, television is not enough. The book should be good for readers I recommend and the “word of mouth” spread. You tend to trust that appear every day on the TV screen is enough to launch other successful projects, but proved is often not all apply to the craft of writing.
The aim of all these authors ‘tele’ is not always the same and sometimes credibility of works it is linked to his credibility as a character . While some dare stories or historical fiction, and develop their capacity as novelists, others move the format of their entertainment programs to take advantage paper and pull the time to give personal advice, fashion or cooking.

Pablo Alvarez, editor of Aguilar and Suma de Letras, confesses that within publishers plans there is always some media figure though it has a lot of caution when choosing who for his life for the same reason of that credibility.

The list of familiar faces appears to have no intention of stopping, but continue adding names in the next literary bets. One of the most anticipated is the novel of Marta Fernandez, Four News presenter, who will be the next to join the phenomenon. Journalist publish with Espasa next September which will his first novel “I present of the world” , a story that mixes stories from the past and present, love and abandonment, and promises to delight followers to connect so well with this genre.
As in the case of Monica, Marta and Sandra also c ambian the sets of information to go to literary quotes . Both will be in the “Hay Festival Segovia” in September, a symposium will be held on 26 and will focus on the contributions of his journalism experience to the narrative.
The truth is that these books continue to reap success , despite the apathy of the publishing market, and the sales figures speak for themselves. Even this “literary boom-TV ‘may serve to encourage reading habits in our country.
