Kamila Shamsie, a good marketer?

Marketing and your artistic work go side by side. Normally if you are getting into commercial scene you should have sound presentation skills and be effective marketer so that people purchase your work and you be FAMOUS.

Kamila Shamsie…said to be a noted writer among the handful Pakistani writers of English fiction. Her latest book ‘Broken Verses’ costs Rs. 595 which make her stood along James Patterson whose novels –very absorbing, mostly thrillers--usually costs above Rs. 500 and exclude them from my affordable range. Patterson is a famous American writer whose novels like ‘Kiss the Girls’ and ‘Along came the spider’ have also been filmatised.

Well the high cost from Patterson’s novel makes sense but I would ‘never’ ever pay such a huge price for Ms. Shamsie’s stuff…

In this case her marketing efforts have played a dominant role. Log on to any website and Kamila would be there among handful writers from Pakistani literary scene. No matter you agree or not but the ‘oldie-goldie’ cute pix of the said writer must have also attracted young lads and lesbians…

Well, has Kamila become Arundhati Roy of Pakistan? My vote would be straight NEGATIVE!!
