I'd wager most books are content someone wants. A lot are even content a lot of people want. This is not good enough. Reaching the audience is the problem.
Also, writing a book can take years. Writing for what people want today is how you fail, as people will have moved on in the five years it took to write, edit, sell and produce the work. If you can reliably predict market desires in 5 years time, you have a lot more than a best selling novel on your hands.
- bluGill 2y agoThere are more good books than time to read. That is why reaching an audience is hard, you are not better than the other choices.
- grugagag 2y agoYou can’t say that until people could reach you, read you and move on.
- bluGill 2y agoThere are more than enough free books on various sources to say that. Most show clear need of a good editor, but still more good books of any fiction genre you care to read than you have time for. Sometimes they are hard to find, but that is a different issue. Even pre internet (say 1960) publishers got more submissions that with some editing could be good than they had time to work with.
