i just learned that one of my fav books we’ve ever published, Farewell Ghosts by Nadia Terranova, tr. Ann Goldstein, has only sold 900 copies in its entire life, so i’ve set up a 40% off discount that will run until we get that number up to 1,000 sevenstories.com/books/4235-far…
So, this article "No One Buys Books" went viral last week. elysian.press/p/no-one-buys-… But then I came across this counterpoint, which made some excellent points countercraft.substack.com/p/yes-people-d… And then there's @joeljmiller summing up with publishing experience millersbookreview.com/p/puzzle-of-pu…

This is a good essay by @TheLincoln about different "engines" that can drive stories. For me the usefulness of an “engine” is that it provides a constraint to help narrow down the range of possibilities, making the story feel more connected and cohesive. lithub.com/on-the-many-di…

“Still, books endure. Publishing is still chugging along, not just in the Big 5 publishers—which account for most of these stats—but also in indie and small presses, where much of the best writing is published.” slate.com/culture/2024/0…
@TheLincoln Possibly, but Columbia still stands out among nationwide campus uprisings in 1968, and I think it will this time too
In Slate, Lincoln Michel corrects some of the misleading statistics in that viral post about low book sales. But the bottom line hasn't changed: Most people rarely buy books. Even selling 900 million books per year, that's still fewer than 3 per American. slate.com/culture/2024/0…
A post about book sales went viral. Here’s what it gets wrong. slate.trib.al/kkUfH4Z
i just learned that one of my fav books we’ve ever published, Farewell Ghosts by Nadia Terranova, tr. Ann Goldstein, has only sold 900 copies in its entire life, so i’ve set up a 40% off discount that will run until we get that number up to 1,000 sevenstories.com/books/4235-far…
"Publishing" is a business. "Literature" is not.
Plato was a hater for the ages.

@TheLincoln That’s fair. I do really wish media coverage of polls would better demonstrate their limitations and show how to read them critically, including by actually reading the questions people responded to. They almost never do that!
@TheLincoln I’m not so sure the limitations of polls and the existence of extremely bad polls means efforts to accurately gauge public sentiment should be completely dismissed. I mean nuance is hard, (especially on here!) but condemning all polls seems very “post truth” in a bad way to me.
Reading the bonfire of the vanities and enjoying it (plot), but the florid objectification of basically every ethnicity is a bit much. I’ve never been as attracted to a woman as Tom Wolfe is to tall black men and tough irish cops.

Saw two tweets today, one claiming any country where cops arrest protestors is a fascist dictatorship and another quoting a politician saying protestors are "leftwing fascists." Maybe we're getting a bit loose with the word "fascist" here...
So, this article "No One Buys Books" went viral last week. elysian.press/p/no-one-buys-… But then I came across this counterpoint, which made some excellent points countercraft.substack.com/p/yes-people-d… And then there's @joeljmiller summing up with publishing experience millersbookreview.com/p/puzzle-of-pu…
insane that columbia has locked down campus to everyone. no research, no books, no labs. no libraries, no medical services appointments, no studio or practice space. no lectures, no concerts. just the pure administrative university and its disciplinary power.
@TheLincoln Can confirm. I've assisted agents with sub letters and also report on manuscripts. The way I select comps depends on the context.
@TheLincoln When I report on a manuscript, I always read the sub letter, and that's going to have comps. It's pretty rare for me to report that the comps are accurate; more often I say the agent- or editor-supplied comps are "ambitious" and give new ones.
