Scoz.App: Empower Your Writing Journey

The Authors Journey

Authors are faced with multiple challenges when moving from completed manuscript to a published book. Scoz.App helps authors to map out the journey and document the process with tasks, contacts, community and directory.
An invaluable resource to eliminate disparate notes and documents.

Some of the questions we provide answers or resources for include:
- How do I actually get my book published?
- Who can I trust to edit my manuscript professionally?
- Where do I find a quality book cover designer?
- Should I self-publish or seek a traditional publisher? - Do I need a literary agent, and if so, how do I find one?
- How do I build an author network and platform?
- What exactly is an ARC, and why do I need one?
- Which writing software will best serve my needs?
- What publishing platforms are available to me?
- How do I identify legitimate opportunities versus scams?

From Manuscript to Market: Ignite Your Creative Journey

15% of books sell less than 12 copies.

Writing is very hard and I thought I should invest the time with open eyes. This figures was very sobering can deflate expectations for authors and prospective authors. But these figures are also based on 1st years sales and do not reflect lifetime sales and they differ across genres. The majority of sales (51.4%) are less than 1000. That is what authors are up against and why its important to be realistic and have a playbook on what being an author is all about. A book that sells 500 copies in its first year could go on to sell thousands more over its lifetime, becoming a steady "backlist" seller for a publisher

New release are 3% of titles sold BUT 25% of revenues!!

The due-diligence continues. The challenges for new writers just seem to amplify. This one needs watching over time, and begs the question about the role of the publishing industry. Seemingly only 3% of titles sold were from new releases, BUT they account for a disproportionate 25% of revenues. At first glance, publishers are extracting higher margins from new titles (remember that when negotiating contracts) Obviously higher priced on release.

The other trend, (European) shows that the backlist is finding more growth and support. ie fewer new books, more old favourites. A possible interpretation is that too many new releases and readers are overwhelmed and find comfort in the oldies. Quality over quantity?

90% of books never get read

Why 90% of books never get read

If you've ever dreamed of writing a book, I have both encouraging and sobering news for you. The encouraging part? The barriers to entry have never been lower. For around $100, anyone can take a manuscript, format it, and distribute it worldwide . The sobering part? That same ease of entry has created a firehose of competition—2.5 million books are now published annually in the U.S. alone, equivalent to the entire 20th century's output

However, the U.S. book market is substantial. In 2023, an estimated 900 million to over 1 billion print books were sold, demonstrating that people are still buying books in large numbers . Globally, the book publishing market was valued at approximately $83.2 billion in 2025
