OMG In the Penguin Random House/S&S antitrust trial it was revealed that out of 58,000 trade titles published per year, half of those titles sell fewer than one dozen books. LESS THAN ONE DOZEN.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This seems to be a misunderstanding of annual punishing statistics which show sales of all books regardless of year of publication. It's definitely not true that most newly published books manage less than a dozen sales.

When interviewed, neighbours of serial killers always say, 'He was such an ordinary man. I can't believe he killed all those people.'
How come we never hear, 'He was such an ordinary man. I can't believe he won the Nobel Prize for Medicine' or similar?

Excellent article. I've been thinking about my story very visually, putting actors into scenes and imagining how they would move in a film. This takes it all a few steps further, exploring angles and distances as shown in prose. Thanks Kristen!

Dear writers, can y'all stop making females characters that portray the weak, damsel in distress stereotype. I don't know any women in my life who fit that model. Thanks from female readers who want to see themselves in the books they read. #writers #writerscommunity

This is a visual representation of me making one tiny change in the first chapter of the work in progress and what this does to the rest of the story. #amwriting
