Writer's Digest and Digital Book World invite all traditionally published, self-published, and aspiring authors to share their experiences by participating in the third annual Author Survey. The survey takes about fifteen minutes or less to complete. The survey results will help us understand the core issues authors face, including their priorities and preferences, their experiences in publishing, and their earnings. Participants in the survey will get a sneak preview of results. Results will be presented at the Digital Book World Conference and Expo in January 2015 and published on the Digital Book World blog as free content. In-depth analysis will also be available for purchase in a comprehensive technical report as well as in a series of briefs designed for authors.

Click here to help us with the survey (and feel free to pass along to all other writers that you know).
