The Biggest Challenge For Budding Writers Is Getting Published.

A new writer faces a lot of hurdles getting published. How does a new writer scale these hurdles? The short article below discusses what steps a new writer can take to focus on what is actually important: writing!

A writer can be described as someone who writes, especially one who writes professionally. A writer is sometimes called an author; however, an author is a somewhat broader term which could be a label for someone who gives existence to anything [i.e. God is the author of man]. Publishing on the other hand can be defined as the entire set of activities needed to make a literary work available to the general public.

For a budding writer, a number of challenges exist. Publishing with the traditional publisher presents a catch 22 scenario: The traditional publisher wants to publish writers with a following [an established author] ; however the budding writer is trying to build a following by getting published. If you happen to get past the classic catch 22 scenario, other problems exist for a new writer:

The writer makes only about 10% on each book sale;

The writer generally does not keep the publishing rights to his/her book; The actual process of publishing is arduous -from finding a literary agent, to mountains of legal documents, to writing publishing proposals.
