I KNOW preorders are super important for books, but they're also not how consumers find products, so like... just remember the long tail.
People want to go into a place, pick up a thing, and enjoy it. Build more infrastructure around the period of time when readers can actually be consumers.

So I invite you once again to tell me about a book from your backlist (published two or more years ago). I'll RT.
Tell us why you love it or what it's about or something. And LINK to it!

This challenge was a big reason why I started doing my Backlist Bonanza column at Reactor. Editors weren't biting on full reviews of SFFH books already out, so this column lets me do super short reviews of 5 already out books. reactormag.com/tag/backlist...

let there be more sff book blogs talking in depth about backlist titles that are not by anybody r/fantasy knows
I have too many thoughts for a single post, but if you are interested in books and writing about books, this is really, really worth a read
I had some musings about book reviewing, specifically around book critique and why critical reviewing on blogs declined, after reading a recent essay by Charlie Jane Anders. Will critical reviewing make a comeback over the next few years? I hope so!

I explicitly think that they don’t want this, because they think that frontlist and backlist books are fungible and so if you push backlist books you will harm the frontlist.
