Everyone knows that big publishers usually don’t want to take a chance with an unknown writer. But it really is true that unknown writers have great stories to tell. I think there are more of them than people realize. Going by the writing blogs alone, there are tons of writers out there. For them, getting published by a big house publisher is next to impossible.
And that’s why independent publishers have been cropping up all over the place. They give the unknown writer an opportunity. It’s got to be tough, not only for new writers, but for new publishers, too. Yet some of these new authors and new publishers are making it big. They succeed because they know their craft.
I have to believe that publishers who succeed know how to succeed. It’s a business after all. And they have got to be good businessmen to succeed. Like an author, they have to work hard and they have to be dedicated. They have to be selfless and put their business first. If you aren’t willing to do that, then most likely you won’t succeed no matter what you’re trying to do.
That’s most definitely the way it is for writers, and I bet it’s just as true for publishers. It’s just the way it is for most everything.
