Shouldn't that be "why don't more people get books published?" I'm sure there's penty of writers out there, but getting them made into books? Wel that takes time and effort and skills that a load of us don't have. I wrote a huge journal out from my trip round Oz (back in 1988) family and friends all asked to read it so I made a few copies (slightly cesored) they all said "You should publish", but at that point I was at a loss as to how to do so.
So that I think is the key.
Mind you it can't be impossible, I've just finished "The Linger Longer" by the Raven brothers and I have to say it was a) poorly written, and b) showed no signs of ever having been proofread by anyone who spoke English ("windowscreen" - anyone?)
So, maybe it is worth trying after all.
