In 2009, 76% of all books released were self-published, according to Publishers Weekly. The number of self-published print and e-books continue to grow exponentially while the number of books issued by traditional publishers declines. This trend is being fostered by both independent authors and the new wave of print on demand (POD) publishers who publish books for would-be authors lacking the technical skills to otherwise self-publish.

So, those at the Tribune Publishing media outlets such as New York Daily News and the Chicago Tribune should be jittery. As the New York Post reports, Tribune Publishing has extended offers of voluntary buyouts to employees at some of its newspapers who have worked there eight years or more. Tribune Publishing wasn't so lucky. Voluntary buyouts are often, but not always, a prelude to layoffs.

For some writers using traditional publishers, that would not be nearly enough. All I know is I earn on 200 books what a traditional publisher would have paid me if they had sold 1,000 books. If a traditional publisher made me an offer that made sense, I’d think about it. I’ve helped friends who wanted a book to give to family and friends… So you have to know why you want to self publish before you embark on the journey.

When ViacomCBS announced that it was putting Simon & Schuster up for sale, a chill went through the publishing industry - or should have.  Is that code for the reality that book publishing isn't a growth business? As Linchpin reports, for the past five years, the global publishing industry has had zero growth. That's why two recent events in the publishing world are important to analyze.

Before Amazon, publishing a book had been an effective marketing tool. Currently, book publishing entails considerable reputational risk.   That risk factor has to be factored into the decision of whether to invest resources in publishing a book (including the ghostwriting and promotion fees) or go with other tactics.   Since the early 1990s, book publishing had been his MO.

So, it's no surprise that, in general, publishing is suffering financially. Overall, companies are cutting back on advertising in this era of COVID-19. The ads they're still placing are primarily landing on the platforms of tech media giants like Facebook and Google. Recently, BuzzFeed furloughed 19 on the editorial side, worldwide. The latest shoe to fall is this: Vice Media is laying off 55 in the U.S., mostly in its digital division.
