Hollowland, a zombie novel Замечательно.
По ссылке от balalajkin, Уоррен Эллис:
...And because, in a big, wide and badly curated internet, we have learned to tune into that very intently in order to find the good things. We now live in a world where our most popular authors have reached their heights without the benefit of one wall poster, one paid placement or one mainstream newspaper feature. Amanda Hocking became a millionaire without anyone noticing, in terms of mainstream media or even broad cultural conversation.
И действительно: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Hocking
Employed as a group home worker until 2010, she wrote 17 novels in her free time. In April 2010, she began self-publishing them as e-books. By March 2011, she had sold over a million copies of her nine books and earned two million dollars from sales, previously unheard of for self-published authors. In early 2011, Hocking averaged 9,000 book sales each day.
Стать миллионером, написав 17 книжек в свободное от работы время и выложив их на своем сайте; без контракта, без паблисити, без ничего вообще.
Не думал, что такое бывает.
Привет
