Novelist, Do You Have 25,000 Friends?

Category: Novels, What Literary Agents Are Saying |

IN HER POST of March 30, 2008, Lori Perkins of L. Perkins Agency suggests that to get a major New York publisher interested, authors need to be able to guarantee at least 25,000 copies of their book will sell.

“…every book has to be perfect (not too long or short and well crafted) and come with a marketing plan. Which means you have to have quotes, a website and a list of bookstores where you can do readings. Every book that sells to a major New York publisher, whether it is a mass market, trade paperback or hardcover must be able to guarantee 25,000 copies sold, or it will not be published by a major publisher.”
