There has never been a better time to be an Independent Author. Countless opportunities are about to open they haven’t even considered. They are going to have more exposure for their book(s) to a wider audience than ever before. The dynamic of the market for book sales is about to shift and the Independent Author is in the right place at the right time to take full advantage.
The world of traditional brick and mortar publishing is struggling, 2006 was not a great year for book sales. The six largest publishers are forced to push more copies of a handful of authors each and every month. This is negatively impacting overall sales at a time when book retailers, wholesalers, and distributors are consolidating and demanding change. The problem is that the behemoths do not have answers.
They constantly search for new writers but the demands of the business make it harder for them to create successful authors. The marketplace has been structured by their own hand to allow only a small window of opportunity for new authors to make their presence known. Retailers are geared towards instant success and immediate sales while the system is not in place to allow that to happen. As a result the big publishers are in a quandry.
At the same time, Independent Authors are about to make a statement that will surely rock the traditional world of publishing. They are on the verge of making a huge impact never before witnessed in the industry. No longer will Independent Authors and small publishers have to struggle in the old world to sell books to the new world. A truly global audience waits, limitless and without boundaries. Accept the fact that Independent Writers and Authors are about to emerge from the shadows and take their rightful place along side other traditional authors. This is a brave new world for readers clamoring for voices never heard and stories never told.
