A growing niche

The interest in biographical books remains significant. In recent years the adult non-fiction genre, which includes biographies, memoirs and autobiographies, saw a significant increase in unit sales, demonstrating the genre's enduring appeal​​.

Furthermore, reading trends suggest a diverse audience, with older readers spending the most time reading, potentially indicating a more appreciative audience for biographical works​​. This data underscores the importance of a thoughtful approach to publishing biographies, which is exactly what Spiffing Publishing offers.
