About how long does it take for a book to come out in paperback?

Usually after the hardcover sales tail off. It depends on how well the hardcover version of the book does. I know when my friend had his book published, they said it would take 18 months before the paperback was released, which should be soon.In cases of books like The Da Vinci Code, they kept pushing back the paperback release because hardcover sales continued to be so brisk and the profit on hardcover books is more than twice that of paperback.

It depends on the publisher and the book. The decision to release a book as a paperback is made individually for each book a publisher releases. Typically, if a book is going to be released as a paperback, it will happen about 6-12 months after its initial release.

Also, the more popular a book is, the more likely it is to be released as a paperback. Sometimes, demand from readers contacting the publisher can initiate or continue this process.

It depends Generally, 9 months to a year is a good rule of thumb. However, if a book is selling really well, the publisher will see no reason to get a cheaper paperback version of it out when people are showing they're willing to put down $20+ on the hard cover. A perfect example of this was The Da Vinci Code.

I wanted to read this book, but there was no way I was going to pay the hard cover price. The Da Vinci code was in hardcover (or oversized, overpriced trade paperback) for 3 years. 3 YEARS!

Good Lord. I didn't buy it until just before the movie came out.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
