How to Tell if Your Book is Commercially Viable
If you are thinking of writing a nonfiction book, and your goal is to land an agent and a traditional book deal, you need to first ask yourself if your book is commercially viable. That is, after all, the question they are going to ask.
I’m Jennie Nash, founder and CEO of Author Accelerator, a company on a mission to lead the book coaching industry.
I’ve helped dozens of writers through the book development process, including Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling writers. I’ve created a six-part test to help you answer the key questions about commercial viability.
