So, how do the changes in publishing affect you? Since information and entertainment are so readily available, publishers have become more selective. The books they publish must be better than what readers can get online or on TV.
Industry consolidation has created fewer publishers/buyers, which could make it harder for you to capture a big publisher’s attention. This translates into more competition for you from other authors. It probably means that your proposal will be evaluated on a strict dollars-and-cents basis or that you will have to comply with a bunch of rigid, corporate-imposed demands. It could also limit your flexibility as a writer and your input into the way your book is designed, marketed, and promoted.
