Summary/Abstract: The present article is an attempt at looking into the self-promotion strategies of two writers, Charlotte Roche and Michał Witkowski. Their ways of promoting books are similar in four ways: 1. Their bestsellers are based on controversial subjects (homosexuality, unaesthetic diseases, pathology in the family system); 2, they both employ autobiographical convention 3. they are not afraid of scandals, and even direct such situations themselves 4. they share their physical body and voice with their protagonists (like in reading audiobooks). The reception of Roche’s strategy in German-speaking countries has not met with such a resistance as the actions of Witkowski do in Poland.
