If you’re interested in keeping up with a variety of marketing tactics, just use the search bar for this blog and we guarantee you’ll come across something.

It’s an important part of being a writer/author who wants exposure. We talk about marketing a lot on this blog. Major publishing houses ensure a bigger paycheck, but why not get your foot in the door to start? They provide the quality care to your work as well as giving you the power over it – with consideration, of course.

An alternative where we have creative flexibility and control over the work in question. Hybrid publishing and collaborative publishing are important mediums to self-published authors (or writers looking into self-publishing.) We want the quality of a major publisher (you know, the big tough editors and the fantastic printing jobs) but since deals from them are far and few between, we need an alternative.

We’ve talked about it once, we’ll talk about it again: hybrid/collaborative publishing is important and will continue to rise in popularity in 2019.

We talk about them enough to say we’re not surprised they’ll continue to rise come the new year. Print books remain the champion of reading (even if less people do the act of reading.) Now, before you comment and say, “getting my book printed will cost so much money” or “I can’t seal the deal with PRH or Tor or any of those big publishers!” Don’t forget about print-on-demand: the most efficient way for a self-published author to get their book in physical format! So you can still make your way into the print market without a major publishing deal (sorry, big guys.) While everyone (or maybe it was just me) believes that eBooks are the only way to read now, we come here to confirm: this is not true. Reason being, we see the decline in reading as a way to push writers to treat their work with care (and to get into e-Pubbing, but we’ll discuss in a second.) Getting all the pre-publication shenanigans out of the way is something so many people don’t truly pay attention to – so maybe, it’s time we give our precious work some TLC and hire a few people to take a look at what we’ve got.

First and foremost, is the decline in reading going to push writers away from publishing their work?.

Opinions and advice are ours! But check out this blog/publishing service. We know, we know…it’s not our lastpost of the year, but it’s close to it! We figured it would be good for anyone looking into getting published to get the heads up: the results are in, publishing trends are here.īefore we get started though, we want to direct you to the source in which the general info comes from.
