The World of Self-Publishing and why it is perfect to offset the gender ratio in authorship

Females Authors with Self Publishing

Traditional publishing had always been a male profession. Authors, publishers, editors etc. all men. This has greatly harmed female voices of literature in the past. There have been revolutionary authors like Jane Austin to break this although through a made-up male identity because they simply didn’t have the legal capacity to sign a publishing contract without a male and of course. After all, women were not seen as authors, more so as readers. Traditional publishing is where the publishing house takes up the cost of publication and promotion and publishing houses back then were quite patriarchal and orthodox; they didn’t want to risk their capital on a female author.

This however changed quickly enough when women authors started proving their worth as capable authors both by writing seminal works of literature and their books keeping publishing houses afloat. Authors like Virginia Woolf, JK Rowling are maybe some of the biggest names and biggest economic successes when it comes to the art of books.

However, in today’s world, the frequency of great books and great authors have risen considerably, well suffice to say, some of the best TV series’ have been adaptations of books. With their hands full and with phenomenal authors already in contracts with them, we can all agree that publishing houses do not have the time to work on and discover new authors.
