Publishers, it’s that time again, the time we 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 2021. That report helped us take a snapshot of the industry amidst the upheaval of the pandemic. And now, with a bit of distance and time, we can take stock again to see how Canadian publishing has changed in those two years.
This survey’s results have always been critical to helping all of us understand the health of the industry and the macro-level changes that have occurred in the intervening years. If you use them to inform your business decisions, 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 Canadian publishing, providing answers about the English-language market that cannot be found anywhere else.
Want to know how your company compares to the rest of the market? Wish there were ways to identify areas of improvement with relation to what your competitors are doing? The more companies that respond to the survey, the more accurate and illuminating the answers become.
We want to know about your print book, ebook, and audiobook business; what challenges you're facing; and more. (If you’d like, you can see all the questions we'll be asking in this PDF before you start the survey.) All answers will be confidential and the results will be shared in aggregate in the free study to be released later this year.
All publishers who complete the survey will receive an advance copy of the final study and a chance to win one of two $100 gift cards to a local retailer of your choice.
