Books Songs and Other Magic | Are Short Stories Commercial? #bookselling #popularity @bookssongsandothermagic | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
This is me asking the question on whether short stories are inherently less commercial than novels, simply by the fact that they are short story collections?
It's something that I wondered while thinking about Harlan Ellison's critical popularity and general respect - mixed with almost everything being out of print and his books being so hard to get.
I'd love to know your thoughts on what I'm saying here in the video.
I kept it to science fiction, mostly, as making it more general would open a huge can of worms that I wouldn't do justice.
Thanks for watching!
