A “high concept” is an idea that’s evocative and that’s unusual enough to sell a novel or screenplay based on a blurb.
Fist-time novelist Patricia Wood scores with her novel Lottery, because it has a high concept. We’ve all wondered how our lives would change if we suddenly came into some money.
In “First-time novelist Patricia Woods feels like she’s hit the jackpot with ‘Lottery” she says:
“…Either you’re a writer or you’re not. Lots of people want to be authors, but they don’t necessarily want to be writers. They want to have written a book, rather than wanting to actually write.”
Great point. Writing is all about writing. If you’re writing a novel, it’s a high-risk endeavor for a freelance writer. Many (most) first novels are never published. However, if you can develop a high concept, your odds of being published increase. And if the concept is truly clever, you’re headed for bestseller-dom.
