Only 5% of authors stay in publishing long enough to release 12 books over the course of their career. And while that’s an admittedly small percentage, it doesn’t have to be cause for alarm. Today on the podcast, I break down what actually determines whether an author reaches this 12 book milestone. Spoiler: the success of your debut novel is NOT on that list.

In this episode, I cite an interview with Jane Freidman, which is where I got my statistics. You can listen to that interview here.
