Book 3 of The Library Trilogy is in the shops on both sides of the Atlantic now!
I've sent out the news letter, saturated my social media, signed a ton of books, don't The Big Idea on Scalzi.com - in short, I've pulled all the levers available to me, and it's in the gods hands now.
A lot of the burden of marketting falls on authors these days, but in the end there's only so much to be done. The publishers get it on bookshop shelves, and the primary engine of book sales after that initial push is readers recommending the book to readers. Readers talking about the book. Readers putting it on their social media.
Books need a ramp to take off - the best book in the world can die if it doesn't get that critical mass behind it to make the readership start taking notice. But after that, whether it will fly far depends entirely on the public.
I've launched the last of the trilogy, and I'm on to the next!
2026, 2027, and 2028 will see the release of the Academy of Kindness trilogy, starting with Daughter of Crows. A dark tale that veers closer to vibe of The Broken Empire than any of my trilogies since we waved Jorg a fond farewell.
Excited to start this final book in the trilogy. Really enjoyed the first two - book one is my favorite book of yours yet. Also thrilled to hear about the new trilogy. I immensely appreciate your work, and consistency.
