Getting Your Book Published Despite Constant Rejection

You try and try and try again to get your book published but each time you try commissioning authors relentlessly respond with a terse, painful, “NO!”.

Stop beating yourself up over rejection – you are not to blame for the fact that you have yet to savour success in getting a book published - and you are not alone.

It's getting more difficult to achieve publication with each day that passes…

The book trade is now almost totally geared towards bestsellers and celebrities.

Breaking in new published authors and placing their work in bookshops is no easy matter.

Finding a Formula for Getting Published

I took up writing on a part time basis fifteen years ago and to date have churned out 37 traditionally published books, all of which have attained bestseller status in their respective niche.

With 37 published titles under my belt, it is reasonable to assume that I might just be in possession of information contrary to the reality of rejection that many less fortunate writers experience…

Hitting the High Spots Without The Support of a Mainstream Publisher

Traditional publishing houses don't always get it right when it comes to spotting winners.

Nowadays they operate under considerable pressure with profit margins cut to the bone as major retailers, online and offline act more and more like supermarkets in their demands.

As a result, mainstream publishers tend only to accept proposals on what they reckon will sell in big numbers.

I was a victim of this policy just recently.

Despite acquiring bestseller status with my first 2 books on the topic of retirement ('Your Retirement Masterplan' and 'Earn Money in Retirement') I came unstuck with the third entry.

'Maximising Mindpower to Enrich Your Retirement' (ISBN: 1933817364 EAN: 9781933817361) was turned down flat on the basis that it did not fit in with the publisher's profile (whatever that means...).

As I was of the opinion that this was the best book I'd ever written, I decided to have it published privately which I did in August 2007.

Amazingly, and with no promotion on my part, it would appear to be attracting inordinate attention online and is currently featuring prominently on 1000s of websites including Amazon, Google Books, The Reading Warehouse, and a miscellany of major and minor online booksellers.

Despite the fact the book is not stocked by offline booksellers, sales are starting to flood in - and I do mean 'flood'...

The moral of this delightful situation: if you have written a book of any description which you are convinced other people will want to read but haven't yet found a publisher who agrees - do it yourself. With the ever-growing incidence of POD (print on demand) the costs are negligible.

After all, DIY did John Grisham no harm; the sole vehicle of distribution for his first book was the boot of a car.
