This is a long shot debut does any anon remember a book from around the years 2006-2008, it was a large book the featured a girl on the front of the book with short blue hair holding a black cat. It wasn’t Coraline. The only part I remember is from the beginning where the girl sees figures in her house, follows one out and ends up on a boat with a skeleton. Read it in high school but I want to find it again and finish it. I think there were two or three books in the series. Here’s a rough idea of the cover.

As a kid, I interpreted each book cover as a PS2 game's different "chapters" that it would shift through a void that would change color depending on the book.

Pic related was an introduction to postmodern thinking. There was another one from the same series where the girl writes a book and lies to her (single) mom about it. There was also Hatchet which was an elaborate vehicle to introducing 12 year old children to the concept of adultery and lying by omission to your father about your mother's affair.

Books that held up:
>My Story (World War 1 and 2) from Scholastic
>The Thief Lord
>Inkheart series

Others I remember:
>Run (about Terry Fox)
>Spirit Bear (about indigenous "circle justice")
>Island and Everest series (also Scholastic)

(I don't remember what it was) and the Dragon is like "not that!" But she's like " but you said!"

I had a friend/bully who was really into them. He always had them on him, but then he moved away. Shout out to Colin.

They also had a movie with John C Reilly and some other famous people in it. I am a brit and they were a bit of a success here. Prominently displayed enough (cover facing you and not the spine, so ya know its good) in the YA or horror section for me to grab something in an airport lounge when I was a kid and finished my book in the taxi ride over. It was book 10, Lake of Souls. Spooky and abstract and otherworldy. Fuckin kino.

Darren dies in the last one and gets ressurected as a zombie minion and then he goes back in time and turns out he was the little zombie minion dude that introduced young Darren to the circus, and he stops the big bad by telling his young self this time to watch out and then somehow conveys all his memories to him in the hopes that young Darren will go on to be best selling irish young adult author Darren Shan. Then zombie darren sits on the roof and as his flesh is still vampire flesh, awaits the rise of the sun to kill himself off knowing he got the better of Desmond Tiny.

I want to write books for kids. How do I ensure the books are successful? How do I avoid the bargain bin or being lumped in with the other thousand writers in this thread? I want to stand out but I don't think I know how. Is it all in story or does it come down to marketing and presentation too?

>asking that kind of question on this anonymous Uzbek goat hair weaving forum
Anon, I...

We can only guess but it really is all about mileage I reckon. A publisher will push your work if it has legs. If not they won't. Hence the success of such garbage. So presumeably a planned large serious that has enough to feel satisfying after the first book but not so much they don't feel the compulsion to go out and buy the box set. Publishers are like any other business. They love their repeat business. All money making enterprises end up resembling the drug trade in that respect.

I don't usually browse /lit/, but I just saw the Artemis Fowl movie trailer. Jesus Christ, what the fuck.

There's a thread on /tv/ about it right now, there's a bit of discussion going on over there too on 2000s middle school core.

Sure, I understand. Just remember we are all half wits and spacks on here. But my advice stands. They want a 5 or 7 or whatever book series out of you, so offer somethong enthralling enough they will get hooked and want more. That is all I can say. You should write like you are making a "tune in next week" soap opera.
