The Self-Publishing Bubble Will Never Burst

Edmonton, Canada, May 24, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Self-publishing has often been compared to a bubble due to the amount of authors that have begun to pursue it. Although the number of authors that move to self-publishing is increasing there is still a need for someone to help these authors, although the form of help from the publisher of the past to a new type of business of company is clearly beginning to occur. Publishing as a static organization has to change to make way for the changing market, but it has so far done its best not to change.

The ability for self-publishers to do every area of selling their book is impossible. Authors must market, promote, edit, distribute, and write another book. This is the job of a company or team and where old publishers used to be but are slowly losing ground to self-starting authors. And this will give way to singular publicists and new focused publishers. The new companies will focus more on promotion and less on distribution.

Self-publishing isn't a bubble it is a wave tearing through the publishing industry and reforming the coasts. It’s not going away, but it is going to need help. The companies and people that come to help self-publishing to dig through the massive amounts of books that aren’t being promoted well have the chance to help so many authors.

Amanda Hocking is one of the most well-known authors who has self-published and then moved to a trade publisher in order to allow her to return to writing and away from the other publishing related tasks.
