Every year, Mark Coker, the founder of Smashwords puts out a long post of predictions for the near future of the Indie book industry. He is usually pretty spot on, so every year, I spend a few minutes reading what he has to say. Today, there are two posts I want to share:
2017 Year in Review and 2018 Preview
2018 Book Industry Predictions
My main take-away from this post is perfectly summed up in this one sentence: “Fair competition at Amazon does not exist.”
If you’re at all serious about being or becoming an author, whether you are traditionally published or self-published, do yourself a favor and read these two posts.
