Only the massive international publishers have the resources to produce and market fiction effectively worldwide. Non-Fiction is where the demand and money is. I am interested in practical writing that makes real money. Why would your target reader ever purchase your book instead of Stephen King’s or J.K. To be successful as a fiction writer, you are competing with Stephen King and J.K.
The reason for the low success rate among writers of fiction is due to intense competition. So it is not surprising that the published writers of the group write non-fiction and that the most talented writer was an unpublished writer of fiction.
This anecdote summarizes the reality of writing - the majority of successfully published writers specialize in non-fiction. I was associated with a writers’ club of over twenty wordsmiths and I was one of just two published authors in the group (and both of us write non-fiction).
