I briefly worked at a local bookstore and the best thing it did for me was that one of the advanced copies we got was the fifth book in the Ellery Hathaway series by @slipperywhisper and it got me completely obsessed with them. I'm on book 3 now and I can't put them down

@pauldoiron @TFOB @blacklionking73 Before I got into the biz, I did not understand why huge bestsellers like Stephen King got so much of the marketing budget. Now I get it. The publishers are financially dependent on the huge "hits" to survive, so when King has a new book, they have to get the word out. (1/2)

All of this is true AND what most people don’t understand is that the rest of the book industry takes its cues from the big publishers. The biggies decide at time of acquisition which titles to push. Your book’s potential is largely…1x)

Another publishing thing that is always worth talking about is how when a book fails commercially it is universally framed as the author’s failure and hung on them and their career/future and pretty much never framed as the publisher failed to do their job marketing the book.
