#WILL MY BOOK SELL?

Wow! The discussions I get into! Today I was asked by someone if her book would sell. What a loaded question. Where do I begin with the variables? I cannot control the sales of anyone's book - I can only advise. The work of writing and selling the book are yours. Period. Ultimately, it is your business.

My reply included explaining my role. My job is to point out the necessary concerns when writing and publishing a book, and the pitfalls of selling the book. Otherwise, you stand to make many expensive mistakes.

The person who sent me her questions made reference to a successfully self published book in the 1940's. Has anything changed in the book market since then? Oh, yes, it has. In the 1940's, far fewer books were published so the competition was so much less, not to mention that fewer people bought books in those days.

Now, anyone publishing a book had better know their target market. Also, they had best also be a most excellent writer who has had the book extensively edited.

It's tough out there, guys.
