Publishers, we need you! It’s time again for us to ask you to help us with our big picture research of the Canadian book industry. You may remember contributing to a survey similar to this two years ago that let us create The State of Publishing in Canada 2023. With all that has happened since, this year’s survey results will be critical to helping all of us understand the health of the industry and the macro-level changes that have occurred in the intervening years.
We know many publishers rely on BookNet Canada’s research to inform their business decisions. If you’re one of them, we’d encourage you to take the time to contribute your answers to this survey. The subsequent free study will be the go-to for research on the Canadian publishing market, providing answers about the English-language digital sales market that cannot be found anywhere else.
We want to know about your print book, ebook, and audiobook business, what challenges you're facing, and more. All answers will be confidential and the results will be shared in aggregate in the free study to be released later this year.
If you’d like, you can see all the questions we'll be asking in this Google doc before you start the survey. Or, if you’d like to collaborate with other members of your company to gather the answers, you can make a copy of the Google doc, input your answers, and share the document with research@booknetcanada.ca.
All publishers who complete the survey will receive an advance copy of the final study.
Take this survey to help us tell you how Canadian publishing has changed since the last time we released our report.
