I want to write for Vanity Fair is one of the first chick lit novels in we talked about in this blog, when it had not yet been published. Yes, because the project starring Emma Travet , the character created by Erica Vagliengo (left in photo by Massimo Milanese) , it is much more than just a book and come to New York! Here's what the author says in this interview I did with her. - Erica, your journey in search of a publishing house is very attractive. It is true that you started to promote the book even before you finish it?
- That link is Travet between you and Emma? You are the same person or you are a character different from you? How autobiographical is your book?
not tell because there is never a autobiographical in my book ... Emma and I have an affinity, of course, but we are different, even for the age (she is 27 years old, I saw 33). The readers and those who follow me on fb (emma Travet) and on the blog, be able to find out ...
- You are an example of how one should really believe in what you do and never give up. Tell us how you used the Internet to promote your book and your creations.
In June 2007 I created a myspace to promote the project emmat (novel, merchandising, promotion of emmat worldwide with pictures of people who are photographed with the stickers and pins). I thought it would not be enough, as the daughter of anyone, send the manuscript to publishing houses (thirty-three, to be precise). I should strive to stand out from the crowd of aspiring writers. Thus was born my project, an innovative example of self marketing applied to the promotion of a book not yet written and a character who has lived before on the internet and then drops on the pages of a novel real. It all started with me, however, si è trasformato da subito in un working progress al quale hanno partecipato spontaneamente creativi, giornalisti, gente di settore, amici che hanno creduto nelle potenzialità del progetto e hanno collaborato (e stanno collaborando) con me per promuoverlo.
- Emma Travet è un'appassionata di vintage, anche lei a volte si fa prendere dallo shopping compulsivo come la protagonista dei romanzi di Sophie Kinsella. È molto facile identificarsi con lei e la lettura del libro è piacevole proprio perché il personaggio trascina la lettrice nel suo mondo. Come hai costruito i personaggi e le vicende del tuo libro?
Prendendo spunto da vicende my real and my friend and novel a bit '.
- The promotion is going very well, even Vanity Fair has devoted a paragraph to you. Merit is the only publishing house or did you put your?
is going to be modest, but the credit is first and foremost my why I started the whole "thing", then the people I met along my path and that gave me confidence and, of course, the publisher illuminated Massimo Ghinolfi Memory ( www.memori.it ) that I published at the end of November and I took the press office, Isabella Borghese, who is working remarkably well in bringing u
Scire the news in newspapers and on radio. Returning to the promotion, I explain how I organized: in the virtual exploiting the full potential of myspace, fb and blogs, updated constantly.
In reality, through the first three presentations: a Pinerolo (launch party for my book, sponsored entirely by Merk's Bar Tiffany), Torino (Café Royal, presentation for journalists), Torre Pellice (Claudiana library) in Rome, Altroquando Library, the central Via del Governo Vecchio, presented by writer and journalist Joan Speech Cinzia Leone. After, that is right now: going to stay on the internet, following the press office, leading directly to the book to several journalists / and doing interviews on radio and TV ... In the near future there will be: the presentation in Milan of the book, Thursday, March 18, at 18 at a beautiful store that sells pieces of designer, fashion designers emerging in the heart of the creative, which is called ... 18:00 ! ( www.le18.it ). I will be presented by Valentina Crepax (journalist / writer) and Daniela Fedi (fashion journalist, critic and expert in costume). Then, in late April, will host the International Festival of Journalism in Perugia in May at the Book Fair and Maggiolibri in Pinerolo, and in June with my novel New York, where I'm going to look for a literary agent to help me to enter the American market
- Do you write a sequel to I want to write for Vanity Fair ? Do you have other plans?
Yes, I'm writing the new ideas on post-it yellow, scattered 'everywhere. If you receive any proposal for the sequel, I think I could seriously work from September onwards, because now I'm too busy with the promotion. On the other progetti, rimando alla domanda sopra. Ti lascio, però, con un’anteprima sul seguito… un capitolo sarà ambientato a New York e un altro a Sarajevo .
