Fountain Hills, AZ – March 15, 2005 – Brian Hill and Dee Power, Fountain Hills authors, answer that question in their new book, The Making of a Bestseller: Success Stories From Authors and the Editors, Agents and Booksellers Behind Them. Hill and Power will share their insights about the publishing industry and sign copies of their book April 4 at 7:00 PM at the Barnes and Noble Bookseller located on 90th Street and Shea in Scottsdale.

“The creation of a bestseller is a finely choreographed team effort, where scores of individuals contribute to the book’s eventual success. Although bestselling authors take very different paths to the top, their careers are marked by certain readily identifiable characteristics that up-and-coming authors can certainly emulate.” says Brian Hill.

“Perseverance is one of those characteristics. Authors who have made it to the top don’t give up. If their first book wasn’t published, they write a better one. If their tenth book makes it to the New York Times bestseller list in last place, they want their next book to do better,” adds Power.

Hill and Power interviewed more than 50 successful authors, publishers, editors, agents, book reviewers and other experts to gain illuminating insight into what separates a bestselling book from all the others published each year. Whether the reader is an author or would-be author, publishing professional, or a devoted fan of today’s popular writers, they’re sure to enjoy reading the fascinating journeys of America’s favorite authors as they reach the pinnacle of success. **************************************
