People have no idea how little it takes to move the needle a little bit for a writer. I didn’t know this, but it tracks with what I know.

Promote the Hell out of the things you love. The more obscure the better.
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Question for the comics slabbers out there: what’s the longest you’ve gone between handing over a comic to be slabbed and getting it back to you? What’s the ballpark here?
