Gloo Books @gloobooks.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

We don’t talk enough about independent publishing and why it matters (1/2). #publishing #entrepreneurship

Does it really matter who publishes the books you read?

When you pick up a book, you probably check the title, the author, maybe even the cover design. But do you notice who published it?

The publisher decides what stories get printed, which books get promoted and ultimately what ends up on your bookshelf.

Big Publishing has a huge advantage. The “Big Five” publishers produce the majority of the books you see in stores and together control around 80% of the trade book market.

That means a few powerful companies have an outsized influence on what we read.

When so much cultural influence is centralized, the range of voices, perspectives and ideas reaching readers shrink. (Think of the dominance of sequels, reboots and superhero movies – publishing falls into the same trap).
