Not just anyone can write a book that enjoys great popularity among the public. While some authors win literary prizes but struggle to sell books, others are blessed with the special gift of finding a common ground with the widest possible audience. Chanette Paul ( Déjà vu ), Leon van Nierop ( Die volmaakte moord ) and Riaan Grobler ( Hospitaal Weltevreden ) are reader favorites. They talk to Bettina Wyngaard about the types of books that are widely read and how one develops the instinct to write stories that satisfy the urge to read.
