How to Sell Books?

This is the Question!

The answer is that it is very hard to sell books.
It is also very hard to estimate how many books are published every year, but the number of English language fiction novels published in 2022, was at least 100,000. What is sure is that there is a huge amount of competition.
To make sure that you get the success your desire, you have to compete, to play the game.
The first step to this is understand what it is to be an author, what the undustry wants you to be.

      • "I started out as a novelist with two traditional publishing deals. I then got a 'hybrid' publishing deal (shared risk co-publishing) and made four times more money from those same books. I then got involved in agency deals around the world, as far afield as China, the USA, South America and Vietnam - activities I could never have imagined as an author at the outset. Most writers make basic errors in turning their talent and passion into success. I am here to help you avoid the tripwires and build the future you desire for yourself."
