Doesn't Baen have 2 lolcow threads on this site? Micheal Z Williamson and the "it's okay if people die in training" Kratman? I actually don't know. Either one is leagues better than your average Hugo nominee these days. downright tame even. That's how far the field has shifted.

If you’ll excuse my language, this is damn good content.

Fawk that’s beautiful. Why even record the audiobooks with those sales? Let’s say he sold even 2x that amount of these nebulous ebooks he’s always going on about - he’s still a tremendous failure! Praise Allah!

Look at the year-to-year numbers. He only sold 254 (!) books in 2021 despite all 6 of his books being available in print. If he made $10 per book (SPOILER: he doesn't), that would be like $2500 income for the year.

THIS IS NOT A PROFESSION, FAGGOT. IT'S A HOBBY.

What are the Formats? I assume PA equals paperback? What's TP (besides being used as toilet paper), and MM? Some of the books are in multiple formats so we need to see the totals for each format (unless I'm looking at the data wrong, which is likely).

This doesnt even take into account that most of these sales are Pat buying his own books in bulk to hand sell, and then failing to hand sell. He has boxes of his own books just laying around

I've made more money buying and selling crypto than he has from selling books. I haven't even invested that much over the years and wouldn't dare refer to myself as an investor or trader and yet this delusional piglet refers to himself as a professional author

Yeah but he makes 6 figures with the 35 cent royalty checks included.

He doesn't have rent he has a mortgage, so yes, he can pay his non-existing rent with his abysmal excuse for royalties

 

[Brooke Shields]

also he's sold tens of thousands of books, as in he's sold tens of books (of the thousands he's sold)

That pic takes on so much more humor knowing that he sold less than 300 books total in the entire year.

TP is trade paperback. I'm not sure what PA stands for but if you look under the Imprint column it's the audio versions of his books.

I don't have his tweet readily available, but reminder that in his contract he took less money for books so he could get more with audiobooks sales.

It would be funny if Niki's family saw this. Im sure he's told them all he's very successful.

Because I make most of my money from Audiobooks and hand selling, child. I have those numbers and you never will, little one. It’s in the billions. I’m sorry you’re stupid. I can’t help you.

Fat Pat should just get a paper route. He would make more money and get some exercise for once.

Who’d have thought Atari predicted such a specific part of the future 30 years ago? Down to Ricks “Vandalism”.
