“There’s a genius to setting a book in bookstores and on an author tour. Bookstores and authors consume a lot of books. Built in audience.
Libraries, too. If you want to sell like a billion copies right now, write a book that features a heroic librarian helping a group of plucky, marginalized youths. Dangerous Minds, but set in a library. You’ll make enough to keep Michelle Pfeiffer in leather jackets forever.”
