Here is an encouraging, but also sobering, number for those who are looking to get published: 276,649. That is the number of new books and editions published in the United States last year. However, that is only counting "traditional" books, when you add in 134,773 Print On Demand short run books, the number soars to 411,422 new books produced in 2007.
These numbers are encouraging because it would appear getting published has never been easier. They are sobering because it also means the competition and market saturation has never been higher.
