The New Frontiers of Publishing Every Entrepreneur Should Know
Without wasting time on traditional book publishing gatekeepers
The publishing game has new players, and they’re leveling the field for everyone.
The reason most entrepreneurs struggle to publish their ideas is because of time constraints and the traditional barriers in publishing.
This happens because most entrepreneurs are swamped with running their businesses and don’t have the time to navigate through the complicated and often slow-moving world of traditional publishing. And that can lead to missed opportunities for personal branding and influence.
“We can’t ignore the unbelievable scale of literary production happening in self-publishing, fan fiction, and Wattpad. It’s vast. So far, that world has largely existed in parallel to mainstream publishing with relatively few crossovers. But I think smart mainstream publishers are paying close attention: more to poach writers than anything else.”
— Dan Sinykin, author of Big Fiction
