Every famous writer was once an unknown writer. If publishers never published new writers, they wouldn't be publishing anyone at all after a while.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's almost no author alive who isn't weathering the tumultuous changes in the publishing industry.
I think new writers everywhere need opportunities to get published.
Writers keep writing and publishers publishing - it never grows boring.
Publishers were ever eager for authors to do their own publicity because nobody else was willing to do it for nothing. But then it became clear that if you want somebody to champion the story, there's nobody better than the person who made it all up.
I think it would be a shame for any writer to let their publishers in any way corral them into a single genre.
In a world where everyone is a publisher, no one is an editor. And that is the danger that we face today.
The hard fact is that not everyone does get published.
Writers are essential. Readers are essential. Publishers are not.
I had several publishers, and they were all the same. They all wanted salacious. And everybody is writing autobiographies, and that's one reason why I'm not going to do it. If young Posh Spice can write her autobiography, then I don't want to write one!
Because most writers have totally unrealistic concepts of how publishing works.
