A book is a book is a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yes, a pulpy thriller is very different from a piece of classy literary fiction, but most passionate readers read widely \u2013 the pulpy thrillers and the literary fiction and the niche non-fiction and work in translation and other things that just happen to strike our eyes and our appetites at the right moment on a sunny day.

The course starts on&nbsp;<strong>1 April<\/strong>, so this is your last chance saloooooooon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>_______________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, the market for books operates just as you might imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Everyone sells in all formats<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ebooks are usually said to account for maybe 25% of the overall books market. I\u2019m sceptical of those estimates, however, certainly as applied to novelists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-publishers \u2013 who are overwhelmingly ebooky \u2013 don\u2019t generally assign ISBN data to their books and those sales are excluded from most industry data. Further, the \u201c25% overall\u201d figure ignores vast genre disparities. Non-fiction (especially reference) is heavily print-led. So is children\u2019s fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, I had an argument just now with an AI-bot, challenging its summary and it acknowledged, \u201cYou&#8217;re right that once we look specifically at&nbsp;<strong>adult fiction<\/strong>&nbsp;and account for the &#8220;dark matter&#8221; of the industry\u2014<strong>self-published digital sales<\/strong>\u2014the picture shifts significantly \u2026 the <strong>adult fiction<\/strong>&nbsp;category is the one place where electronic formats (e-books and audiobooks combined) are arguably the primary way people consume stories today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s say that for adult fiction, electronic formats account for half or more of unit sales. (Print, being more expensive, accounts for more than half of revenues.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, trad publishers offer books across every major format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All digital-first and indie publishers do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s true that the digital-first folk can\u2019t usually reach High Street bookstores, but they can easily offer print books through Amazon and Amazon is still by far the most consequential bookshop in the world, accounting for more than half of most trad publishers\u2019 revenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So no matter how you publish, everyone can publish in all formats, with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And yet \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite all this, the market for books cleaves into two vast hemispheres with stunningly few points of connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tradworld looks to physical bookshops as its north star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It thinks about print before ebook. It thinks about physical bookstores before Amazon. It thinks about critical acclaim from newspapers and other sources far more than it does about reader reviews on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be clear, this isn\u2019t a dumb strategy. Tradworld publishers make very healthy profits. Ten or fifteen years ago, I thought there was a significant chance that traditional publishers would just fold up and shrink to a fraction of their previous size. They haven\u2019t. They\u2019ve thrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, there\u2019s a flourishing host of digital-first publishers (including self-publishers, all of whom are digitally-led.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those guys \u2013 the Digifirsters \u2013 don\u2019t care about physical bookshops: they have no access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They don\u2019t care about newspapers and traditional sources of literary praise: they don\u2019t get any love from those places and, even if they did, it would make no difference to sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They may or may not care about Apple and other non-Amazon bookshops, but really Amazon is the thing. The Digifirsters are all about selling on Amazon. They arguably have more in common with people who sell household wares on Amazon than they do with the fine old literary houses who once sold Jane Austen or Herman Melville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as I say, these worlds barely connect \u2013 or connect to a remarkably small degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can literally sell 1,000,000 ebooks on Amazon and yet struggle to shift 20,000 paperbacks through physical stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can sell 1,000,000 ebooks and yet have zero reviews in newspapers. Indeed, it\u2019s stranger than that. If newspapers do end up writing about you, they\u2019ll say things like, \u201cthe million-copy selling author that no one\u2019s ever heard of.\u201d By which they mean, \u201cthe million-copy selling author that we\u2019ve never noticed because we were looking in the opposite direction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more, Tradworld still operates in a universe where there are such things as nation-states. Woe betide you if you sell a British book to an American reader, or vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digifirsters don\u2019t really notice the existence of nation-states. Book covers, blurbs, marketing strategies and digital support in general cross continents, with barely more than a tweak or two along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What this means for you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this is my own long and winding road leading up to Mount Useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And on the tippy-toppy summit of Mount Useful there is a sign which says: \u201cYou need to know what kind of book yours is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your book is better suited to the Digifirsters, you may as well skip over agents (to start with) and submit straight to the better digital-first houses. Or, if you approach agents, you should do so aware that those agents are not about to get you a trad deal with Penguin Random House. And, of course, if your book is naturally digifirst, then self-publishing is also an option, and a very good one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If on the other hand, your book is better suited to Tradworld, then you need to go there (via an agent) without much pondering the alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some general pointers to how to understand your book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it commercial genre fiction, with plot more important than prose style? It might well be digital-first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it a standalone book, not part of a series? It might be more suited for trad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it going to appeal to somewhat self-important newspaper reviewers? Think trad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you see a properly global (albeit English-speaking) market for your book? If so, digital publishing beckons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are hints, not final determinations. I said the two hemispheres connect to a remarkably small degree, and that\u2019s true. But there are still plenty of books where you could choose to go either way, and your final judgement needs to take into account all the factors, including of course your own preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And \u2013 as usual, this email is too long<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And \u2013 as so often, it\u2019s hard to set out reliable, general rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worry ye not, oh Friends of Jericho.
