Megan maxwell, the quintessential Spanish romantic author, and one of the main authors of romantic novels in Spain, shared with her followers through Nubico's Facebook the keys to her success in a digital meeting in which she has also revealed some unforgettable confidences.
The Spanish author of German origin has found a place in the elite of best-selling authors, and has become the great lady of erotic and romantic novel in Spain. Considered as the Spanish woman who has managed to dethrone the 50 Sombras de GrayMaxwell feels flattered when compared to EL James, although she confesses that she has other references such as Julie Garwood and Rachel Gibson.
The key to its success is the narrative tension with which it intertwines its characters, as well as its stories full of emotion, romance, adventures and a very funny script that engages from the first line. But he has also understood the world of social networks and the digital format of his books as keys to feeding his readership. In fact, his books are among the most read in ebook format and he has a large number of followers on social networks, channels that have made his fame a speaker.
Maxwell has shared his vision on the genre and heralds a great future.
The romance novel has always existed and will continue to exist. In my opinion one of the problems this genre had were the covers of the books, which used to be terrible. As a result of the change we have made to the covers, we have noticed that people are increasingly encouraged to enjoy erotic reading.
Sex in literature has been a taboo subject until a few years ago, but today this consideration has changed. So have female sexual stereotypes. Maxwell believes that the authors are managing to build female characters with whom the public identifies; women of character who unleash the imagination of the women of the XNUMXst century. This is according to the author the true success of her novels. The love that he describes in his novels is a contemporary love and that facilitates the public's connection with the authors.
For me, Prince Charming does not exist. I am one of those who believes that love has to last as long as it has to last and in the end it expires like yogurts. My mission is to write the beginning of the story, will they still be together after 25 years? This i do not know.
As for female stereotypes, Megan has a very clear vision:
You know? perfection does not exist and as an ad says, if you don't like me, don't look at me! People are people with more or less kilos and it is a shame that many see only that stereotype and do not see that there is something else behind a person. I'm not a model either ... whoever doesn't want to see me shouldn't look at me! Each one is as it is and we ALL deserve to be happy.
The author has recognized that it is difficult for her to choose favorites from among her works or characters, although all the women in her novels carry something of her in their character. As a confidence, Megan gave a clue: "I like them all the same, but there is a book where the main character is called MEGAN. Is it for a reason?"
Her inspiration comes from music and silence, and she avoids being considered a writer for women.
When I write a book mainly what I try is that I like it and if I am happy with the result, then I send it to my editor. I do not write for a reader profile. I simply write for whoever wants to read me.
The author has shown her talent by gaining recognition from the publishing world, but for this she has knocked on many doors on her way.
It was almost 14 years in which I never thought of throwing in the towel. I always fight for everything that I set out to do and getting my novels published was not going to be any different ”, which is why one of his tips for his fans is perseverance as an ingredient for personal and professional success.
