Some outlets for writers - industry terminology
Traditional printed books - the main sectors
 | General books - called 'trade' in the business. These cover
fiction and non-fiction titles. |

Children's
- they used to sell to parents but now kids themselves are a sizeable market. |
| Academic - turn your lecture notes into a book. |
| Educational - low cost and large distribution. |
| Professional - often high cost, books needed for work purposes.
|
| Special interest - often employed within the industry in a slightly
derogatory way and indicates the limited audience (just like most books). the web provides a way to market worldwide. An
excellent candidate for self-publishing as the market can be identified. |
