Attack of the Flak Going Rogue Versus Gone Postal
Going Rogue Versus Gone Postal
Wednesday, 11 November 2009 20:18
On November 17th Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue" will drop. I think I'll choose the same date to drop my book, "Gone Postal." I'll walk over to where I've got 'em stacked, pick one up, and drop it on my office (bedroom) floor where it will land with a muted thud (much more muted than Palin's book tour through the "real America").
I also think I'll make more money publishing my book than HarperCollins will make off Palin's memoir. She got an advance of anywhere from $1.5 million to $7 million. If that number is $5 million, HarperCollins will need to sell 400,000 copies in order to make any money.
Myself, I've printed 40 copies via createspace and have distributed most of those to the 20 or so people who have pre-ordered. I've also had one online sale. I'm already in the black.
