Of course, the game would be worth the candle, and I would advise you to do everything to get published by a publisher, if he invested in the promotion of all the books in his catalog and, in this way, instead of selling 1,000 copies (consider that I am making very low numbers, with a good marketing strategy you can sell many more copies by promoting your book on your blog and on social networks) if you sold 10,000. But does this happen? Do publishers really invest in their authors' books (beginners, but not only)? My experience says otherwise. My experience says that publishers (and if it's a big publisher, the situation gets worse) invests in two or three titles a year and nothing else.
For the rest they send a generic newsletter with all the titles released (God of marketing forgive them, because they don't know what they're doing!), the title, the price and (not even always) a very Special Data brief description. End. Would this be a promotion that could increase your book sales tenfold and would be worth getting just 7% off the cover price? The truth is that in Italy no publisher helps authors promote their book with the marketing techniques that must be done today: those on Personal Branding and Direct Marketing . But what if I want to publish my books with a publisher? Publishers don't want to take risks, they don't want to invest in debutants and, if you necessarily want to publish with a publisher, I advise you to publish at least your debut book with Self Publishing.
Once you have been successful with your self-published book you will see, in fact, that the publisher will really want to invest in you and your book, and in many cases there will not even be a need to contact him, he will do it himself. Haven't I convinced you yet? You still think it's useful to look for a publisher right from your debut book who won't promote you, instead of starting your blog, knowing your audience, creating your list of potential readers and developing your marketing strategy for your book ? In your place, instead of trying in every way to get in touch with a publisher, I would try to do it with your readers. With Self Publishing you can do it. What do you think?
