Everyone has a story

Worth reading · Storytelling & encounters · SRF News ·

Publishing a book used to be something only a few could do. Today almost anyone can, with a few clicks on the internet. A report by SRF News shows why so many take this route even though hardly anyone can make a living from it.

What the report is about

More and more authors are publishing their books without a publishing house. Only a very few have great success with it, and most earn hardly anything. For many, though, that is not the motivation at all: they write because they want to tell their story. The report also warns about providers who want to make money from expensive publishing services.

Briefly summarised by Romera. The original report is a business piece on the book market, not a study of what motivates writers.

Our thoughts on this

Not every story has to become a book. But almost everyone carries something inside that they would like to tell one day: an encounter, a detour, a fresh start. Often it is not the story that is missing, but someone to listen.

And you?

Which story from your life would you like to tell someone one day?
