Law Book Publishing
Book publishing?
I have many degrees in Criminal Justice, and am on my way to be a Police Officer.. but I was wondering, I have always liked to write stories and take writing classes. I was just wondering, if I wrote a book about something law enforcement related (fiction or non fictional).. what are the chances of it being published?
It is difficult to answer this question as it depends on so many factors including how well written and compelling your story is.
If your question is inquiring more about whether or not there is actual interest in law enforcement topics, you have to look no futher than the TVGuide to see that the public appetite for law enforcement entertainment is unquenchable. Look at all the CSIs, Law & Orders, Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue, COPS, even Dog the Bounty Hunter. People can't get enough of it.
Publishers often look to other trends in tv and movies to anticipate what will sell. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong. Either way, there is also enough evidence out there that people like reading about police work too.
On the fiction side, I can't even tell you how many thousands of detective novels there are out there. Retired LAPD, Joseph Wambaugh has written 10-15 novels based on his experience on the force.
There are also tons of police memoirs out there, some good some not so good. One very well-written one that I can think of is Ed Conlon's "Blue Blood" about his life with the NYPD. Do you know it? It's quite good.
You've certainly got the qualifications that would make a publisher look at you twice, especially if you're writing novels. It's much easier to market fiction that is written with someone who has credentials in the area.
So write on!
