According to 2002 study popularized by Joseph Epstein of the New York Times “81 percent of Americans feel that they have a book in them — and should write it.” This equates to roughly 170 million adults over the age of 18 out of the entire United States population alone, a conservative number of potential authors. Maybe you are one of them.
COVID-19 Has Created Time for Writing That Book
During the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak, many people have been impacted by the stay-at-home orders requested by state and national leaders, and many have had work hours cut severely, been laid off, or released from jobs completely all waiting for the COVID-19 crisis to pass. With these stay-at-home orders keeping many social and entertainment venues closed, many people find themselves with a lot of free time on their hands, and the “someday” that many of us have stated as the day we will find the time to write that book is “today.”
But writing a book is just half of the battle. The next step is getting your book into the hands of readers. Many authors long to get a lucrative book deal from one of the Big 5 book publishers such as Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, and Simon & Schuster, but landing a publishing contract with one of these companies is highly competitive and takes a lot of time and rejection before you find success. This leaves many authors looking for an alternative way of getting their books into print–an alternative way such as using a self-publishing book printing company.
The COVID-19 outbreak has also unleashed incredible demand–and corresponding sales–for cookbooks, self-improvement books, and binge-worthy novel series, just to name a few. So, how do you, as a potential author, take advantage of this demand? Write that book now and get it in the hands of a high-quality self-publishing book printing company such as InstantPublisher.
