To ensure a spot on The Wall Street Journal's Bestseller list, you need to sell about 3000 books in the first week and to hit gold and the New York Times Bestseller list, you'll need 9,000 copies sold in the first week.if /lit/ really wanted to they could get things on these lists

>>14296318
Do they have to be bought from specific vendors?

>every book just advertises some stupid design

>>14296307
>>14296274
>>14296150
I don't get it.

>>14296318
>the New York Times Bestseller list, you'll need 9,000 copies sold in the first week
That's a pretty low bar and is a meaningless achievement for already well established authors.

Bestseller lists are unironically fascist.

Are you trying to convince us they’re good?

>all the authors are wimminz, brown people, and/or jews
corrected.
>>14296108
>Why is all trash?
yes. You dumb niggers wonder why I call you fags and traitors to literature for buyfagging. Stop giving money to these charlatans. Until they stop peddling absolute reeking garbage, they are not getting a PENNY from me. It's an unending parade of pozz, an everburning dumpster fire of brown-bagged dogshit.

Pirate everything. Starve the cancer out. Destroy that which destroys what you love.

I was really shocked to find out the bar was so low when a podcaster I listen to made it on the nonfiction list. He was only there for about a week, but still counts

>>14296108
I decided to count how many times a brown or hijabi'd woman was on the cover. Not the author name, merely an image of a brown woman, excluding asians. The image of a brown woman on the book cover.

That number was 59.

The border is an action novel, it’s like a dramatization of the cartel wars with sekret agents and atrocities. It is by no means woke

>>14296830
>one day: 24 hours in america
>a particular kind of black man
>a good american family
>other words for home (another brown woman in a hijab)
>she said (sexual harassment #metoo)

>when we were arabs: a jewish family's forgotten history (2 for 1 oppression points)
>american spy (black woman wrapped in US flag: "a racial, political...")
>in the country of women
>the national team: the women who changed soccer
>camgirl

So let's summarize what the NPR wants us to read. Brown, Woman, Hijab, Black.

I meant fascist in the vague lefty definition of a nebulous totalitarianism, not capital F Fascism and National Socialism.

>>14296846

Explain why there are 59 images of brown women on a list of ~350 books.

reminder that when everyone dumb reddit tourist comes here and complains about /lit/ not reading new books these are the books they mean

>>14296108
Meh

>>14296751
>>14296830

Yeah their quota is showing, but to be fair there are a few decent books by wamyn and blacks. I understand /lit/'s aversion to contemporary publishing, but out of all these there are a few I've checked out where the writing seems solid and not just WHITE MAN BAD GIBE MONEY NOW DRUMPF

What is the patrician list then? I dont see you chucklefucks coming up with one because you dont fucking read. You faggots couldnt read your way out of a children's book.

this. the message is clear: whites are not welcome. if you're a white man don't bother trying to get published, you're stonewalled based on your race and gender.
