How will authors benefit with e-books?
More publishing opportunities! Authors that otherwise would not see their books published can now be published. If the e-book sells well you can bet the publisher will schedule a larger print run. It truly is a great opportunity for new writers to get that first book published to begin a career in writing. We can now accept books we could not publish. The initial print run is now just a few books instead of having to print one to five thousand copies or more. This permits the publisher to take a chance on a new writer without the heavy investment in print runs. However, the quality of the book still must be high for the book to be accepted by any publisher and to meet the harsh realities of the marketplace to obtain great media reviews. Good reviews sell books.
