" Michael Tamblyn, Rakuten Kobo’s CEO, said at 2022 Frankfurt Book Fair, ‘One in four books we sell in English is a self-published title, which means that effectively, for us, self-publishing is like having a whole other Penguin Random House sitting out in the market that no one sees. It’s like the dark matter of publishing.’ "

As quoted in Amra Pajalic's article for ArtsHub 'Three bestselling Australian authors you may never have heard of'.

Which is why you research them.

Also for their experience history, who they worked with before, etc. Spend some time on Google and Amazon and check the books they put out.

If they don't have their own book list, they should have recently come out of a reputable agency, and be willing to share that name with you. Check what that agency has accomplished, as you would for the individual #agent .

Mastodon has been great for networking, more so than The Bad Place - I've found so many #IndiePublishers, #SelfPublished #Authors, #LiteraryAgents and a few #TraditionalPublishing companies as well, and bookmarked them all ready for when it's time for me to start querying.

We'll just ignore that the whole process of querying is utterly alien and terrifying to me 😅

My concern has often been that many new #writers think that their ONLY path to publishing is #SelfPublishing, or are put off completely by only one or two rejections.

I also hear too many self-publishing writers (who've never tried #TraditionalPublishing) say they "can't afford" to pay a reasonable wage to an #editor, cover artist, etc. If they "can't afford" to self-publish, then they should at least *try* to publish traditionally-- where their budget works just fine.

Anne Fisher-Ahlert - Submitting Your Work and Dealing with Rejection

You don't have to self-publish to get in print. You don't have to pay ANY money--to editors, artists, or printers. Getting traditional publishers to publish your book for FREE is not as impossible as it might seem.

I worked for many years in #publishing. We published some truly crappy #writers, just because they had a great query; whereas other, more talented writers, did not.

Question for the #WritingCommunity. Have any of you ever had a book included as part of a launch package of a small, new, independent publisher? If so, any opinions on the idea? I have a choice to make, PDQ, and my fingernails are down to the marrow. Can think of SO MANY things that could go wrong--or right. Ayiyiyi.....

Who in the #WritingCommunity is working toward #TraditionalPublishing? I'm hoping to query again in January, but I also have potential #SelfPublishing project I'm polishing.

Hi all, I'm a SF writer from the Louisville KY area, part of the great migration from Twitter now that Musk is burning it to the ground. Looking forward to connecting with the #WritingCommunity here! #Introductions
