Driving Interest for a Publishing Deal

Ever wondered how authors can break through the noise in today’s saturated publishing market?

For aspiring authors, securing a traditional publishing deal can feel like an uphill battle. However, in today’s digital age, creative avenues such as crowdfunding have emerged as viable alternatives to traditional publishing routes.

Rebecca Murtagh ✨ , a renowned futurist, entrepreneur, and author, exemplifies the power of such strategies with her book Success and the Genius Within: Your Guide to Human AI, the Future of Work, Innovation and Creativity Amidst the Greatest Disruption in Human History. Her campaign on Publishizer , a crowdfunding platform dedicated to books, demonstrates how authors can not only fund their projects but also gain the attention of publishing houses.

Through this innovative approach, Rebecca is opening up new opportunities for authors looking to disrupt the traditional publishing model.

Crowdfunding platforms like Publishizer are reshaping the publishing landscape by helping authors connect directly with readers, while also attracting the attention of traditional publishers. These platforms enable authors to launch campaigns, build communities and pre-sell books in exchange for financial backing, reducing the barriers to entry. Rebecca Murtagh’s campaign for Success and the Genius Within provides an inspiring case study of how a well-executed Publishizer campaign can spark interest from readers and publishers alike.

Rebecca’s book, centred around the profound disruptions caused by AI and automation, taps into a subject that affects millions of people. With predictions that AI will replace 30-50% of jobs globally by 2030, Success and the Genius Within offers a roadmap for individuals to adapt, leverage their talents, and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Crowdfunding allowed Rebecca to connect with an audience eager for insight into how they can future-proof their careers in the age of AI.

Rebecca’s campaign on Publishizer enabled her to attract readers and garner feedback even before the book is published. This form of direct engagement with her audience not only validated the demand for her content but also increased the chances of her book being picked up by a traditional publisher. In the world of publishing, such early traction is invaluable. Publishers are constantly looking for authors who can demonstrate a built-in readership and interest in their work, and Rebecca’s campaign met that requirement.

Crowdfunding campaigns also allow authors to test the market before investing significant time and resources. Rebecca’s case is a prime example. With her book, she touches on the fears and aspirations of individuals facing the impending disruptions caused by AI. She has positioned Success and the Genius Within as a crucial resource for anyone looking to future-proof their career and embrace the opportunities brought by AI. The strong response to her campaign confirmed her thesis: people are eager to learn how they can adapt and thrive amidst the coming wave of automation.

Publishizer differs from other crowdfunding platforms because it is focused on building a bridge between authors and publishers. While platforms like Kickstarter or GoFundMe are useful for funding creative projects, Publishizer specifically helps authors to secure publishing deals. This is what makes Publishizer particularly attractive for authors who not only want to self-publish but also wish to attract the attention of major publishing houses. Rebecca Murtagh’s campaign is succeeding in doing just that, creating a buzz that resulted in greater visibility for her work.

Her book offers a timely and necessary message, urging individuals to embrace their inherent genius and develop the soft skills needed to collaborate with AI. Rather than view AI as a threat, Rebecca encourages readers to see it as an opportunity to tap into human creativity and innovation. This message resonates deeply with her audience, helping to fuel her Publishizer campaign’s success. The campaign demonstrates to potential publishers that there is a market for her ideas, bolstering her chances of securing a deal.

One of the key advantages of using Publishizer for crowdfunding is the platform’s ability to connect authors directly with potential publishers once they reach certain pre-order milestones. With each book pre-sold during the campaign, the author gets closer to attracting offers from publishing houses. In Rebecca’s case, the interest generated from her pre-orders gives her the leverage she needs when negotiating with potential publishers. Publishizer campaigns are also a great way to gain data on which markets respond best to a book’s concept, providing authors and publishers with valuable insights that can shape marketing strategies down the line.

Furthermore, Rebecca’s use of crowdfunding allowed her to maintain control over her project while building a direct relationship with her readers. This level of engagement would be difficult to achieve through traditional publishing channels alone. The ability to craft a personal narrative around her book’s launch and involve her audience in the process helps to build anticipation and loyalty, both of which are critical to a book’s long-term success.

"Is crowdfunding the future for authors who want to attract publishing deals and engage their readers from day one?"

Rebecca Murtagh’s Publishizer campaign for Success and the Genius Within is a prime example of how crowdfunding can be a powerful tool for aspiring authors. It offers a blueprint for others who seek to not only fund their projects but also generate interest from publishing houses. In an industry that is often hard to penetrate, crowdfunding can serve as a strategic launching pad, proving that great ideas can gain momentum and reach larger audiences through non-traditional means.

As the publishing industry continues to evolve, platforms like Publishizer are likely to play an increasingly prominent role in helping authors carve out their path to success.

So, is it time for more writers to consider crowdfunding as a viable option for securing a publishing deal?
