me in what I thought was my punk/ The Cure era in 1984, but sadly, in retrospect, was probably more like my Sideshow Bob era

I may be wrong and the market may have changed as the form becomes more apparent in the industry - I would love to think so!

I would say, looking at the evidence in the industry, that it's rare. Also, this was v much the message I received when I was writing my debut, which I had originally conceived of as a novella.

As a child, when I first heard about the Speaking Clock I assumed it was a person with a really good internal chronometer who was just shut in a room with a telephone and had to estimate the time whenever someone rang

The problem is that advances with Big 5 are so variable. Without a fixed figure to compare digital first to, the question can't be answered definitively. What is predictable, is the percentage cut the writer gets with digital first publishers, tho of course sales themselves can't be predicted.

How to be a writer:
First, plant the tree on which the leaves of your book will be printed.
Next, hatch the bird from whose quill your ink will flow.
Water the tree.
Feed the bird.
Learn the patience of things that grow and the joy of things that sing.
Make tea: you've got time.
