: Re: how many books by new authors get published every year? I have heard figures like 100,000 - 250,000 books are published every year, but this probably includes already established authors. Are

I've seen this question asked on other sites and the answer is always, No one has any good statistics on that.

Some ballpark thinking:

As we do have reasonably reliable statistics that about 300,000 new titles are published each year, that's clearly the upper bound.

Assuming that most authors publish more than one book -- and clearly there are some out there who churn them out -- most of those 300,000 are probably not by new authors.

So the number of new authors each year is likely in the tens of thousands.
