Started writing a book a few months ago on my industry - just as an outlet for me/no expectation of anyone reading it.

But am now wondering if it’s possible to get a publishing house to take it on, and wondering if anyone here had experience with that and what’s involved?

Not trying to be a bestseller, but want to explore if this can help push the discourse in my industry in some small way. Or at the very least leave some legacy of my work beyond a bunch of client deliverables lol

I know you can publish it through Amazon yourself and share the link with friends and colleagues.

A “traditional” publishing house is very, very unlikely to take on a non-fiction book by an unknown author, unless you have a built-in audience and a platform to guarantee sales and drive an ROI for them.

Self publishing is, by far, the most realistic path.
