What is a book agency?

03/10/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

A book agency is a business that helps authors market and publish their books. Book agencies can help authors find a suitable publisher and conduct the contract negotiations, or they can bring the books directly to the market, for example by founding their own publishing brand.

Book agencies can also offer services such as editing, proofreading, cover design and marketing to ensure the author's book is presented in the best possible way. In return, they receive a share of the book's earnings or a flat rate for their services.

Book agencies typically work with authors who already have some notoriety or potential to maximize the chances of their books selling. While some agencies specialize in certain genres or audiences, others may represent a broader range of books. It's important to note that book agencies are not publishers, but service providers who help authors publish and market their books.

What is a review?

03/09/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

A review is a critical evaluation or opinion of a book, film, music album, or other artistic work. A review can be written by a professional critic or by a reader, listener or viewer.

A review can evaluate different elements of the work, such as the plot, the characters, the language, the message or the artistic achievement. The evaluation can be positive or negative or a mixture of both.

Reviews can be published in various media, such as newspapers, magazines, online magazines or blogs. They often serve to give other people a guide and to support their decision when buying or consuming the work.

It is important to note that reviews are subjective and may be based on personal preferences and experiences. They should be considered as an opinion and not a fact.

03/09/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

A self-publisher is an author who is responsible for publishing and marketing their book themselves, without enlisting the help of a traditional publisher or book agency. Self-publishing allows authors to publish their work at their own expense without having to comply with a publisher's guidelines or restrictions.

A self-publisher also typically takes responsibility for marketing their book, including creating and maintaining their own website, using social media, and running promotions. Self-publishing offers authors greater independence and control over their work, but it also requires more work and expense to publish and market the book.
