Have you ever thought what in your life to chance ?..., have influenced the fate ?..., "good fortune"?
The question I have just made is the result of a thought that has me meditating on much of this week. I am aware that the current situation we are facing can have a significant negative in those novice authors seeking to see published his first book, not in vain, it is difficult to publish the second for those who achieved the first objective. Although I also believe that if instead of having finished writing "Vendetta" this year, I would have done two or three, probably the chances of the work would have been much higher, and once, years ago, publishers and agencies showed much more receptive, not meditating both bet on a novel writer. "They will influence factors such as chance and luck in the fact that more than one novel should be published, do not get so precious loot? Honestly I think so.
This last thought is a collation of an e-mail I received earlier this week by the editor of a young editorial. The answer to my proposal was very sincere edition, a fact that an exceedingly grateful. He told me that when they began the business project chose to edit two lines, one aimed at the publication of best-sellers of foreign authors who had owned successful in those countries where published, and a second aimed at the publication of works of new authors. However, because of the (literal) "... very high percentage of returns, little or no background rotation, high margin for retailers and department stores, very high pressure at the outlets of large publishing groups, spectacular falling sales and the number of visitors to libraries , very little depth of the funds in the libraries, low visibility of titles little rotation, etc ...), finally led them to temporarily suspend the publication of new writers.
Pity, perhaps if I had come a few months ago ...
Stress, finally, I made another assessment the editor in question: " Against this background and before rejecting all the books that had been offered, we decided to go for a new format, the electronic book or ebook to print as possible. To assess the commercial viability of the proposal for an auditing firm commissioned a market study and the result has again been disappointing. No or very few sales, production costs borne by the authors, and over 97% of cases the final purchaser of the book is the author or his family and friends.
could offer to publish his book as an ebook but feel that you are deceiving because although the cost of such proposal is zero or very low for both parties, profitability is also very low or no . "
At least I have the feeling that there are still sincere and honest people in this world full of black vultures that hover on the lookout for that who decides to leave his work die.
