The reality of publishing is that it is difficult to make a profit in this business.

Self-Publishing v. Traditional Publishing

Where do the two converge?

Where do they stand distinct?

What if your book is non-fiction or fiction?

How does this affect they way to seek to bring it to print?

How do you balance marketing your book–fiction or non-fiction–with writing the book?

It’s still a small percentage of the business, but it’s growing. ..the two biggest obstacles to success seem to be spectacular editorial content and the market capability to reach a vast audience. At Folio, we’ve been exploring opportunities (for) providing outside services (marketing, speakers services, licensing, apps) to really serve (authors’) needs.”
