| Re: Why a series?
I know that Lois Bujold gets questions from her publishers like,"Can we get a new book from you, you know, new but just like the Miles Vorkosigan books.?" She now works out a deal with them 2 books of her choice then one Vorkosigan.
I understand the publishers want a sure sale but running a series into the ground is not a benefit for anyone.
Other authors have tried to catch on with titles outside the popular or famous series and just don't get the audience response and end up going back more than they should. Donaldson, Card, and... er... Anthony. How many Xanth books are there? |
