What is a celebrated author?

answers1:It means whatever the author or her publisher wants it to
mean. There isn't a committee or a panel of judges whose job it is to
decide who can call themselves a "celebrated author". It could mean
she's won every award that her books are eligible for, topped every
bestseller list in the world, been interviewed on every prime time
talk show, is a friend of politicians and A-list celebrities... or it
could just mean that a couple of her Facebook friends wrote positive
reviews of one of her books....Show more
answers2:It might be that she has gotten a lot of buzz; not
necessarily award-winning buzz though.
answers3:It's just advertising hype. There is no official definition
of "celebrated author." You can believe it or not, based upon the
available evidence, and it looks as if you've already decided that you
don't believe it. That seems like a good decisioin.
answers4:It means whatever the writer wants it to mean. Unless she
gives more details, it's impossible to say.
