PUBLISHING- NEW TRENDS

In any industry there is a strong tendency to stick with “what has worked in the past”.  Publishing is no exception to this rule. There is a great deal of cost, risk, and effort in bringing a new book, record, or video to market. Publishers and literary agents are often difficult to contact and get a commitment from.

  There is no question that it’s a sure bet to bring out another Steven King novel or another Harry Potter book. The problem is that Steven King won’t live forever and the industry is bypassing some of the best new talent available by sticking with the tried and true.

  The other issue I see is that by playing it safe, many industry insiders are missing out on what I consider a hot new trend. Consumers and book buyers today have a lot of media vying for their dollars and leisure time. There are movies, videos, pay for view, magazines, and not to mention the internet and blogging.

  Most consumers lead busy lives and find it hard to devote hours of time to reading a good book. My feeling is that stories, articles, and information that can be consumed in short time frames representing the new emerging market. Creative writing such as blogs and short stories fit this need very well.

 There are certainly no shortages of readers or writers in this genre as evidenced by the over 130 million blogs on the internet. Granted, a great many of these blogs are “one time wonders”, but there are also some very substantial bodies of work out there that are largely overlooked.

  My new web site:  www.newauthorsandartists.com  is designed to gain exposure for these new writers and to help them market their work to a rapidly growing market. The on line store is also designed to market music, and videos. You can list and sell your work immediately with very little cost or risk. Join the creative revolution.
