Welcome to the inaugural issue of Novelist Post, a magazine dedicated to celebrating the brilliance of bestselling, award-winning, and exceptional authors in the realms of novels, romance, and fiction. We are thrilled to introduce this new generation publication, which stands apart from conventional magazines by offering a unique and comprehensive platform for literary voices.
Novelist Post is available in print across 190 countries and through thousands of retailers and platforms, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Waterstones, and many more. Additionally, our content is accessible online, electronically, and on social media, ensuring that you can engage with us wherever you are.
In this debut issue, we are honored to feature Steve Berry, a master of the historical thriller and a New York Times bestselling author, as our cover star. With twenty-three bestsellers to his name, including "The Atlas Maneuver," "The Last Kingdom," and "The Omega Factor," Berry has captivated readers worldwide with his meticulously researched and intricately plotted novels. His works, translated into 41 languages and sold in 52 countries, consistently dominate bestseller lists, a testament to his global appeal and storytelling prowess.
At the core of Berry's novels lies a deep passion for history, a passion he shares with his wife, Elizabeth. Together, they founded History Matters, a foundation dedicated to historic preservation. Through lectures, workshops, and fundraising events, they have raised over $1.5 million to save endangered historic treasures. This commitment to history is not just a backdrop for Berry's novels but a driving force that shapes his narratives and characters.
Berry's accolades are numerous, including the American Library Association's spokesperson for National Preservation Week, the Royden B. Davis Distinguished Author Award, and the Silver Bullet Award from International Thriller Writers. His dedication to both his craft and his philanthropic efforts has earned him a place among the most respected authors of our time.
In this exclusive interview with Novelist Post, Steve Berry delves into the intricacies of blending historical accuracy with contemporary thrillers, the inspiration behind his beloved protagonist Cotton Malone, and the collaborative process of co-writing with other authors. He also shares insights into his rigorous research methods and the challenges of resonating with a global audience.
