Gil Pratsobrerroca: "I feel respect for the second book, but I have guts"

Gil Pratsobrerroca shares his experiences of navigating the literary world after the success of his debut novel, reflecting on the pressures of creating a second book.

Gil Pratsobrerroca, a young author from Vic, has gained unexpected acclaim with his debut literary work 'El joc del silenci', which has seen remarkable success in just six months, reaching its tenth edition. Despite this triumph, Gil expresses a mix of respect and apprehension regarding the creation of his second book, acknowledging the challenges that come with following up a successful launch.

As he continues to promote his first novel, he is caught in a whirlwind of ongoing promotional events, especially with the upcoming Sant Jordi celebration, where he is expected to participate in a book-signing marathon similar to that of Regina Rodríguez Sirvent, another successful author from the same publisher. Gil's journey highlights the importance of word-of-mouth recommendations in the literary world, particularly for new authors trying to establish their name.

Drawing inspiration from acclaimed writer Joël Dicker, renowned for his psychological thrillers, Gil aims to craft a sequel filled with intricate plots and secrets. His experience underscores both the exciting possibilities and the pressures of being a new author in a competitive literary market, as he navigates expectations from readers and the industry alike.
