..inevitable—but that will not be possible. Our audience will continue to grow and remain hungry for our books. Readers will search out these stories wherever they can.”

Solid words, there.

I have a question for #kidslituk

How much should I pay attention to Amazon Sales Rankings?

It’s nice to see low figures but the categories are so niche and filled with legacy titles/ bizarre entries like activity books, it’s hard to know how much to care?
