Does it need to grow? Have you had anyone critique your book? Get some input. What does your competition look like? See how you can rise above it. It may be worth your time working with a writing consultant, or even joining a writing group and getting some 2nd opinions. Have you looked at your writing platform? Does it need to grow?
