Book Business Wants to Know: What's Your 2012 Outlook?

Brian Howard from Book Business magazine here. We are conducting our annual Publishers' Outlook survey to determine—you guessed it—book publishers' outlooks for 2012. The results will allow you to find out if your views on the biggest threats to—and opportunities in—the industry are shared by others. By taking part, you'll get valuable benchmarks for print and e-book sales predictions, among others.

If you have already taken part in this survey—thank you!

If not, please take just a couple of minutes out of your busy day to fill out the brief (we swear!) online Zoomerang questionnaire (link below). The survey results will be published in the January/February issue of Book Business along with a feature article investigating industry trends and publishers' outlooks for the coming year. (Do rest assured that all personal and company information will remain confidential; results will be published only in aggregate.)

Your participation in the survey is essential to our goal of providing the most comprehensive analysis of industry practices, analysis that will maximize the benefit to you and your management teams. And while that should be its own reward, we're also going to sweeten the deal: Just by participating, you will be entered into a drawing for a $100 American Express Gift Card or $100 off your 2012 Publishing Business Full Conference and Expo Pass.
