Demonstrating an extraordinary commitment to empowering the independent writer, full-stack self-publishing service provider BookBaby has taken the initiative to produce the largest survey ever conducted in the publishing world, designed to identify and reveal the methods of successful independent authors.
Nearly 8000 would-be and published authors responded to 57 questions focusing on book promotion and various marketing challenges faced by the underdog indie writer. Respondents opened up on a huge range of issues, from investments in professional editing and cover design, all the way to book sales expectations vs. reality.
With over 2,000 downloads of the survey results in less than a week after being announced to the BookBaby community, this survey promises to be an invaluable gift to self-published authors and to the publishing industry as a whole.
