  • Having a lot of followers doesn't mean anything to a publisher if your book isn't commercial to warrant them to invest money into your book on advertising, public relations, promoters, agents, publicists, pluggers, marketing, etc. Did you know that the majority of books that a book publisher publishes, that they cause the publisher to lose money, and they only ever got published in the first place because they've been subsidised by the profits of the minority of bestsellers?
  • You could pitch a novel to a publisher by having a cover letter and the first 5 chapters, and have every single one tell you that your novel is excellent or very good and you're talented, just that your writing is experimental.
  • For example the genres fantasy, romance and young adult are considered commercial genres as those genres make lots of money and have the privilege of being stocked on the shelves of physical book shops because they are meeting their weekly sales targets from the general public. Whereas the genres contemporary fiction, historical fiction and dystopian future, they tend to either make no money, very little, or cause the publisher losses.
  • The only exception is if you're a celebrity like Zoella, Pewdiepie, Frankie Bridge (singer from pop band The Saturdays), Caroline Flack. They would not of been published if they wasn't famous.
