Modesty forbids for me too.<br /><br />What annoyed me - no, one of the things that annoyed me - was that because N&S is a good magazine its readers would believe that most NZ books sold badly and would assume that was because most NZ books were crap, and as a result the readers would be less likely in a bookshop to pick up a NZ book and investigate it. I don't mind if people buy local or imported, as long as they give the local a chance.Stephen Stratfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426799380228308536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131514811483888026.post-53092103651444868792011-10-06T19:34:57.101+13:002011-10-06T19:34:57.101+13:00MANY ANZ writers - not only in the category of gen...MANY ANZ writers - not only in the category of genre fiction, wide as it is- can provide sales figures of way over300 per year here - and elsewhere.<br /><br />Modesty forbids etc.Keri Hnoreply@blogger.com
