Book publishing would be so much easier without the authors.

Just because everyone CAN publish a book these days, doesn’t mean everyone SHOULD. The world doesn’t need 1000 knock-offs of 50 Shades of Grey. I’m not so sure the world even needed ONE 50 Shades...

Publishing is a business and writing is an art. The two have to be crammed together despite the clearly different motivations behind them.

As a book author, it’s your responsibility to cast a vision for your book about the length and appearance before you pitch the idea to a publisher.
