Publishing Industry Not In My Favour


What You ACTUALLY Need to Get A Book Deal (Not What You Think)

I'm noting that "no obvious connection" actually involves people who are:

  • at work
  • home makers
  • retired
  • discrete.


It would seem, publishers might tend to think of these people as "more reliable" and "mature" than online influencers. Which reflects in 20.5/1.6 = 12.8 times as many deals, and which is obviously a worrying statistic and prejudice for an online influencer. Who, as he doesn't monetise his blogs, needs a book deal.



[Tried to add, follow up to it]

I'm also noting self published previously is less than twice onliners.

This obviously confirms the kind of prejudice I think I would be dealing with in terms of well established publishers (who have most of the titles, obviously)/
