#WritersCoffeeClub 20 Feb: How commercially minded are you? Would you object to selling a hundred thousand books?
Last year one of my editors (UK publisher) wanted to know if she could truthfully put "a million books sold" on my promotional material.
My agent and my US publisher chipped in, and it turns out I'm well past a million English language sales, possibly past two million.
It took 25 years, though: I'm not an overnight hit. And I'd still be happy to sell 100K copies of my next novel.
