One of my private amusements is the serendipity surrounding how well my different books sell, or not. And how that really doesn’t align with who published it. A writing friend was bemoaning this with me, feeling bad about her small press status versus a Big Five publisher. But her book has sold well, very well. While other writers I know, published by a top echelon press, sell fewer copies.
When I recently came across this article from Grub Street’s blog, interviewing debut writers about the post-signing process (what happens once you do get an agent and a publisher), it confirmed my long-held belief that readers really don’t care who your publisher is.
