John Grisham's First Novel - A Time To Kill
A Time to Kill is a 1989 legal thriller by John Grisham. It was Grisham's first novel. The novel was rejected by many publishers before Wynwood Press eventually gave it a modest 5,000-copy printing. When Doubleday published The Firm, Wynwood released a trade paperback of A Time to Kill, which became a bestseller. Dell published the mass market paperback months after the success of The Firm, bringing Grisham to widespread popularity among readers. Doubleday eventually took over the contract for A Time to Kill and released a special hardcover edition.
Story went that Grisham hand sold the book - and handled all the marketing.
He was a small town lawyer at the time it was published.
He did better than myself and my relatives - who have all independently published our novels.
