Author Craft / Re: Books in a digital world, and when will books be obsolete?
« on: October 16, 2006, 03:49:31 AM »
Until e-books are comparable in price to hardcovers and paperbacks, I don't think it will have a huge impact. I know of a small number of people who read on Ipods because they're techno geeks (i.e. I live in the Calif Bay Area).

That said, e publishing copyright laws will be the next thing which also means potentially more money for authors as I suspect the residual income will vary from publisher to publisher as it's a new thing.

Just call me SJEM.  Those are my initials.  :)

I'm on leave from work for a few years and I am working on a mega fantasy novel in the spirit of George R.R. Martin as well as a much smaller children's fantasy book.

I'm based in the Bay Area, male, thirty something and very appreciative of mythology, archetypes of fairy tales.

Best,

SJEM

Author Craft / Number of books to equal a best seller?
« on: August 31, 2006, 12:12:49 AM »
Hello,

Just curious as to the number of books it takes to equal a best seller.

I imagine it varies from publisher to publisher as well as the type of book (i.e. hardcover, trade and paperback).

I would say maybe 70,000 to 100,000 minimum for hardcovers, true?

Thanks.

Shannon
