Times may be dark for independent presses, but the success of @DeadInkBooks and others shows that there is a hunger from readers for literature outside of the everyday.

@RSmythFreelance @DanCarpenter85 @GBudden2 @GiantRatSumatra Where is the anthology of rotting whale stories we need?

@samatlounge @KitCaless The Quote Tweet seems a bit unfair, Sam... I was honestly just engaging in the discussion with you, not piling on.

[Nathan Connolly @NightLightNate]

@samatlounge @KitCaless And doing so certainly isn’t niche. In fact, modern consumers appear to care more than ever before about where what they are buying comes from. This trend is visible across multiple industries and has been for a long time.

[Nathan Connolly @NightLightNate]

@samatlounge @KitCaless In fact, I think that’s a really bad approach. Certainly there is a large section of the market that focusses on readers who don’t. But building dedicated marketing lists of engaged readers and investing in them as loyal customers should be a core activity for most publishers.

[Nathan Connolly @NightLightNate]

@MrGaunt Not at all. I really enjoyed it!

[Nathan Connolly @NightLightNate]

Just finished The Fisherman by @MrGaunt. Started reading it yesterday evening and haven’t been able to stop. An atmosphere that sucks you under and a structure so expertly executed that it keeps you there.
