hello there is Peter here again from

WritersLife.org and today why do so many

books fail the majority of books that

are written are hardly read by anybody

this may seem a little depressing but it

is the unfortunate truth think of all

the millions of books that are out there

how many of them have been properly

published and marketed and have been

read by more than a handful of people of

course describing a book as a failure

all depends on how you measure success

you may not write for fame and fortune

you may not even be trying to make a

living out of your book for some authors

seeing their book for sale on Amazon is

achievement enough and that's wonderful

however for many others they want to see

their book become a success they want a

publisher or agent or at the very least

for it to become popular through

self-publishing

so that they can feel dedicating all

that time and energy to writing was

worthwhile so why is it that so many

books fail let's take a look at the main

reasons first of all they don't get

finished

finishing a book is an astonishing

achievement and one that every author

who's managed it should pat themselves

on the back for so many people begin to

write a book or want to but never manage

to get to the end be thankful that you

did something so many other people were

unable to do next they stay hidden there

are a vast number of manuscripts out

there which stay under the radar the

author finishes and thinks now what the

idea of spending time and money sending

to publishers and agents or

self-publishing is rather overwhelming

to the novice writer so even many

completed books go no further

next they don't get sent to the right

people

if you don't research the publishers

you're sending your book to more often

than not you'll send it to the wrong

person someone who has no interest in

the genre for example and it will get

rejected without so much as a second

thought always do your research and make

sure that you know exactly the right

person and publishing house to send your

manuscript to this way you'll give your

book the best chance of success and next

they aren't submitted correctly if you

don't follow submission guidelines to a

tee then your book may get rejected

without even being read don't go to all

the efforts of sending your booking

unless you are going to make sure you've

read the submission guidelines

thoroughly and are willing to follow

them precisely next they haven't been

written for anyone does your book have a

target audience if not who were you

going to market it to without having a

type of reader in mind books often fail

as instead of appealing to everyone they

don't really appeal to anyone and next

they aren't unique boring unoriginal

cliched stories have no place in the

modern book marketplace readers are

hungry for books that surprise and

excite them make sure your story does

just that

next they are talk to a publishable

standard if your book is full of

spelling mistakes and errors then you

can't expect to be taken seriously by an

agent or publisher have a professional

editor look over your book and if you

are self-publishing

make sure you have a proper cover design

next they just plain unlucky

unfortunately if you're going to try and

get your book published you're up

against insanely soft competition lots

of publishers won't give new authors the

time of day

and if they do we'll only take two or

three new books in a year and get sent

thousands of manuscripts each month even

brilliant authors with something truly

unique to say can easily get overlooked

in the end all you can do is keep trying

believe in yourself and hope that you'll

get lucky

remember don't give up it's often those

who keep persevering that end up

becoming a success and don't forget if

you're struggling to write or finish

your book our free writers toolkit can

help with it you'll learn how to

overcome procrastination get organized

stay focused

find time to write and finally get your

book published to get access now while

it's still available simply go to
