BUY THE BOOK – MAKE YOUR MESS YOUR MEMOIR – https://amzn.to/3EATdpT In this Film Courage video interview, Publisher, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, and Television Personality Anna David shares her experience with book publishing and the changing landscape of the industry. Anna reveals that traditional publishing advances have decreased, often ranging from $5,000 to $10,000, making it a challenging business for authors. The majority of books do not earn back their advances, and success is typically found in books that appeal to non-avid readers. Hitting the New York Times bestseller list doesn’t guarantee financial security, and many bestselling authors struggle financially. Self-publishing offers higher royalty percentages, but success lies beyond book sales. Anna David is the New York Times bestselling author of two novels and six non-fiction books. She has appeared repeatedly on Today, The Talk, Good Morning America and had a running segment on G4’s Attack of the Show that she co-hosted with Olivia Munn for three years. Her company, Legacy Launch Pad, writes and publishes books for thought leaders and her podcast has featured interviews with authors such as Robert Greene and Chris Voss. Her first book, Party Girl, is in development as a film tentatively scheduled to be shot in 2023.
