AuthorEarnings Debunks Industry Lies Surrounding SciFi, Fantasy

In another stunning display of both truth in publishing and meticulous attention to the data, the latest release from AuthorEarnings takes on another facet of the traditional publishing industry, namely the lies surrounding scifi and fantasy publishing. In a presentation at the 2018 SFWA Nebula Conference, cape-wearing number cruncher Data Guy presented findings that dispel a number of long-held myths. These include: science fiction and fantasy audiences are shrinking; titles in that genre aren't selling like they used to; smaller advances for these authors are justified by the probably lack of return; and several others. Of course, how does AE do it? By tracking the actual sales figures from the world's largest bookstore and Nielsen/BookScan.
