Unless you’re
an established author – preferably with several big sellers
under your belt – getting your work into print can be a long
- tedious - discouraging uphill battle.
As has been the case with many industries
– the Publishing Industry has undergone waves of mergers and
acquisitions. Most publishers are now subsidiaries or divisions
of very large – frequently international – publishing
corporations.
They have one primary corporate
mission – make money for their stockholders and corporate
executives. If you were a manager - it’s a rational goal.
It’s also how you keep your job.
The way that you do it is to invest
your corporate funds – time and energy - into ‘safe’
books. Meaning into books that have been written by established
writers who have a track record of previous sales.
You also avoid very controversial topics or tiny niche markets that
will have limited sales appeal. Are new authors published? Yes –
but not very many.
If you can find
a ‘traditional’ publisher who agrees to publish your
work
- what should you expect?
In a nutshell – (1) a lag time of upwards
of a year or two - until the book is actually finished - and promotion
and advertising can begin. (2) About a 15% ‘royalty-commission’
for each sale. Means for example, if your book had to sell
for $25 (in order for the publisher, wholesaler and retailer to
make a profit after paying marketing and promotion expenses) –
you’d earn about $3.75 for each sold book (complimentary copies
for public relations purposes – reviewers, editors and so
on - don’t count). If 10,000 books could be sold (that’s
a lot of $25 books) – you could expect to earn about $37,500
(pre-tax).
What are the odds
(probability) of the above happening? It’s very low.
But if you think we’re kidding – first take the time
to bookmark this page so you can return
– then take the time and expense to send out 15 submission
packages. Maybe you’ll get lucky.
New Publishing Alternatives
in the 3rd Millennium
Let’s be candid –
trees and making paper costs money. Transportation (read fuel)
is getting stupid expensive along with retail store display
costs. All of those costs and more – including layers
of profits for the distribution chain - have to be factored
into the Selling Price of a book. The higher the Selling Price
– the less people can - or would choose to - purchase
the book. Simple.
Electronic
Books Cost Less
– Authors Make More –
Electronic publishing is fast
(depending on the preparedness level of your manuscript –
in as little as 7 weeks). Electronic publishing also involves
less financial risk. Instead of printing thousands
of copies of a book to be boxed and stored in warehouses until
sales are made – one copy of a book is created and then
stored on web servers for individuals to download. Electronic
books are copyright protected. Means the material
is locked - can’t be copied.
In aggregate – electronic
books can be sold for less money – means lots more people
can afford to buy the publication. In the above example,
the same book might sell for $7.99 – but the
author
might earn $4.00 per sold copy.
If you have something to say
– say it electronically. Then have it sold
directly to readers via the web – where there
are now more than a billion potential readers –
each just a click away from purchasing your work.

"Book
Of Relationships"
Senior Editor: Kelly
White
It's
one of the most controversial relationship books of
our time.
Learn how we can use our
sensuality to bond long-term relationships – or
to help destroy or terminate them.
Recognize the five different
Love Organizations
that every individual can choose for their loving relationships
– and that they live in every day.
The
Love Organizations
Sensual Hermitage – Promiscuity Exclusive Coupling
– Swinging
Intimate Best Friends
Appreciate the reasons why
individuals change the Love Organization they are living
in for another – often changing both their partners
and children.
This collection of short
writings is from individuals living in one of the Love
Organizations. You’ll ‘see/feel’ both
the attractions and the not so good stuff so you can
decide which of the Love Organizations would best fit
the balance of your life.
Almost 10 years in the making
- some of the readings may leave you feeling threatened
because they challenge cherished assumptions about the
actual nature and purpose of our relationships. Other
writings may cheer you on because they confirm that
others are having the exact same thoughts that you have
been having secretly.
But whether you agree or
disagree – one thing is certain –
you will never forget that you read the writings the
next time you think about one of your relationships
past - present - future.
