Werthead Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Lifetime sales of over 100,000 copies Really? Impressive for a pretty hard SF series with only three books out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussi Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Maybe they count Rajaniemi's Finnish sales... The Causal Angel was #10 in our October bestseller list (in the domestic fiction category). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello World Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Is it me or is Robert Stanek not on that list for some reason? http://www.reagentpress.com/Robert-Stanek/index.html Robert Stanek is the author of 70 books for young people and adults. He has been called a modern day Tolkien, and his books have been called Star Wars with Elves, a wonderful cross between Tolkien and Rowling.

Hello World Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 BTW, you seem to be a bit biased here, Werthead. You almost double Bakker’s known sales because info from other publishers is not available but keep OSC at 7 million when he has likely sold far, far more for a similar reason. Why not give him the WoT treatment and add 20 million copies because you don’t know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 BTW, you seem to be a bit biased here, Werthead. You almost double Bakker’s known sales because info from other publishers is not available but keep OSC at 7 million when he has likely sold far, far more for a similar reason. Why not give him the WoT treatment and add 20 million copies because you don’t know? Bakker's known sales were 125,000 years ago. They got rounded up to 200,000 because the author himself reported that the books have now sold "Hundreds of thousands of copies". We have no further info, so no further figures are given. Wheel of Time's new worldwide figure was actually backed up by the French publishers, who reported it chimed with their own reports. In fact, both them and others in the know have told me the true figure is actually higher still (especially since we then learned that Books 12 and 13 alone added 12 million sales to the series), which makes me wonder why they haven't acknowledged it. They might be waiting for the publicity drive for the companion volume. In contrast, sales figure reports for Card are approaching non-existence. I could very easily believe he'd sold 15 million or even 25 million, but there is no way of knowing exactly where the hell the real figure falls in that very, very wide margin. If someone wants to ask OSC and get back to me, I'll happily update that (when I get around to the next mega-update). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyanna Stark Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 So, as I've been plowing lots of UF lately, I noticed there isn't a lot of UF authors on there. Was thinking writers like Seanan McGuire, Kim Harrison, Kelley Armstrong, Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews should make the cut? Or are they not SFF "enough" to be counted? Please be a troll. LOL Maybe he's an elf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jussi Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I don't know if it's been changed, but it doesn't say that on the page linked.Edelweiss has removed "Sales points" from their catalogs. Slipstream Fiction Goes Mainstream Tenth of December by George Saunders: The book, which mixes a literary style with strange elements — women as lawn ornaments, for instance, or a fictional drug called Darkenfloxx — has sold nearly 300,000 copies. Jeff VanderMeer's The Southern Reach trilogy: which together have sold more than 150,000 copies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird. Apparently at least Ilona Andrews has been on a lot of bestseller lists. Linkage. I guess I have a difficult time figuring out why they would not release sales reports. But then I am neither a publisher nor an economist. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
