Do Romance Writers find it hard to get published?
In an already competitive industry where it is really hard to get published. How does a romance novelist stand out from the crowd?
Erotic Books published.According to romance author Adrienne
Basso finding a good agent is necessary for a successful career.But the hard
part getting an agent to read your books, which is extremely difficult as on
average an agent receives 600 - 1000 manuscripts every month of which typically
only 1 gets published.It really is like winning a lottery right? But that is an
average in the whole publishing industry.The numbers are steeper for those who
write Romance Books, this is partially due to the huge interest in the romance genre
and partially because of wannabe writers who want to put their love story in a
book.Basso also admits it is almost impossible to get your manuscript accepted
in the first submission or with the first agent you find, this is a bitter
truth of print publishing which many authors failed to realize.However the time
is changing and the winds are blowing in the favor of the writers.With the
popularity of eBooks and almost 12% annual rise in the number of households
with a digital reader in America, writers now have a great opportunity to get
published.There are far more opportunities for digital book publishing than for
print versions.In fact, many authors of eBooks are actually self published,
meaning that they sell their work either directly to consumers, or by using
third party networks like ClickBank and Amazon.Authors who are having trouble
getting a publisher to pay attention to their work may try the electronic route
first.If your eBooks become successful, you may even have editors and publishers
contacting you and asking whether you would like to partner up with them to
publish some print books.Sure there are hurdles to cross before you can reach
the same level of success as that of a print published author or even a NYT
bestseller.Not to forget that you will have to take care of formatting, editing
and of course marketing your works if you go the digital path.Of course you can
always hire someone to that but then again you can also keep trying to get an
agent.Romance writers should remember that the harder it is to get published,
the greater are the rewards and the law of demand and supply will always work
out.At the end of the day all you have to do is write a really good romance
bookBusiness Management Articles, the rest will take care of itself.
