Is the market good for publishing books?
February 222010
My friend and I want to publish a book together and we were wondering if that would be a good idea right now. Thanks Everyone!
Most publishers are right now enduring the biggest slump in book sales since the Great Depression of the 1930s. With millions of peope out of work and losing their homes,they don’t have money to buy books. Also a number of surveys seem to indicate that adult recreational reading is at an all-time low. So actually this is a terrible time to get into the book publishing business. On the other hand, "All things pass," so if you want to write your booki, go ahead — just wait until this recession is over before you get serious about publishing it.
Good luck!
