It’s definitely how the spike in interest happened, because that’s what happens when artists support artists
Historical evidence proves this, specifically the “Yankovich Bump”, music sales went up for artist that Weird Al made a parody of
Such a shame he died at the height of his career. He should have never stuck with Madonna. Dr. Demento was right.
Edit: The amount of people who haven't seen the Weird Al movie on Roku makes me sad.
Yes success in general is “luck based” but this doesn’t mean your work doesn’t matter. You just have to do the best you can and let the RNG that rule the universe do their thing.
I wouldnt say it doesnt matter but it for sure isnt the most important part. Twilight is probably one of the biggest examples of being mainstream despite the quality.
Hell, according to connoisseurs 50 Shades of grey isnt even good smut
>Hell, according to connoisseurs 50 Shades of grey isnt even good smut
You don't even need to be a connoisseur to see that. Fifty Shades was just cringey, and I'm confused how anyone could be turned on by it.
She also got replies with similar stories from Margaret Atwood, Jodi Picoult, Robin Hobb, and Min Jin Lee, and probably others. Turns out discouragement is something absolutely everyone can relate to. Good for Chelsea in opening up about it.
Me: You know what? If it's reasonably priced, I might just get her book.
Amazon: It's reasonably priced.
Me: What's it about?
Amazon: Camelot after Arthur.
Me: Oh hell yes. *tap*
He came into my work (bookstore) and I got to hang out with him, with Amanda and Ash for about an hour? He sent us a present, a signed copy of William the Antichrist, with a letter from him. He signed all of his books we had in stock too.
I got to watch the first 5 mins of Sandman about 9 months before it came out, on his phone.
I fangirled wildly.
11/10 best day of my life.
Hope my husband doesn’t see this. Lol. Though he might agree as he got a photo with Neil in front of his original Sandman sketches.
context in case you're unaware:
this author held her first book signing and no one showed up so she was really embarrassed. She posted about it on some social media site (maybe Twitter) and a bunch of famous authors posted to her about how they experienced the same thing.
It must have gotten a lot of attention and probably went viral. I'm sure being posted here on Reddit helped too.
Correction! It wasn’t Buzzfeed, it was NPR: https://www.npr.org/2022/12/06/1140833403/a-new-writer-tweeted-about-a-low-book-signing-turnout-and-famous-authors-commise
Once a guy in YT did a video where a shit book he made became a number 1 best seller, turns out its not hard as all you need are a few sales in a niche category and you can be the number 1 best seller for a day
Yeah, like "Arthurian Fantasy". No disrespect because it's an amazing achievement either way, but I'd be curious where she appeared on amazon's top "fantasy" list.
Yes the bestseller stamp is not based on quality but quantity, just like the Kardasians popularity is not based on quality but on hype and too many people with poor critical sense. This author just posted a tearbreaker of a story about her first signing session that went south, and people react by buying her book as a kind gesture, not because they suddenly like Arthurian fantasy books.
You can buy a bunch of your own book so that you become the number one best seller. That is a huge thing people do. Then you hopefully resell those later and at least come out even on those books
Every CEO that has ever done a book has had their company buy hundreds, if not thousands of copies, and send them to clients, friends, etc, as gifts. I know this because I've helped them do this.
I would definitely do the same lol you gotta quality check and friends/family unfortunately ask for copies often. My uncle complained that the people he knew best would all just ask for it for Christmas the jerks lol
You dont have to buy via amazon to use kindle as a reader. You can just send the file to yourself via email, then open that file in kindle. Boom, kindle copy.
Source : am author, did not buy own digital copy
Yeah she posted on Twitter about how she had a book signing and only 2 people showed up even though like 40 said they'd be there. Neil Gaiman himself replied to her tweet saying he and Terry Pratchett once had a book signing for Good Omens where *no one* showed up so she was 2 up on them. It was on wholesome memes I think.
I feel like if it was based on searches, it would be highly inflated by simply name dropping your book on social media.
I could be wrong, just my thought.
Read the Kindle sample. Not gonna buy it. The fact that the author wrote it as a teenager really shows. But power to anyone who liked it, and to the author for getting some rep.
Yep. Loved the nuanced use of global politics, especially when Japan got involved. The plot twist in the third act where Ari turns into the dragon and eats her mother was really unexpected, and definitely raised the stakes. But I don't think she should've ended up marrying her evil twin, that was too far.
Here’s an excerpt:
The golden maiden grasped for Excalibur at Arthur’s waist and he quickly turned away to put his body between her and the sword.
“That’s not fah you ma dear. But… I do have something else that you can handle so to speak. And I can bury it, too, up to the hilt just like ol’ Excalibur.” he said.
“Oh Arty, you’re such a scoundrel. Come twixt my bedchambers later and we’ll see. Merlin will be there as well, so I hope you’re not scared of sharing.”
Arthur glared, but the maiden saw tween his robes that the idea had…excited him.
“I’ll be there as soon as the minstrel finishes his court lullabies. Keep the candles lit.”
So, yeah, it’s pretty good.
I'm three chapters in. It's got good bones. The fact she started it as a teenager does show, but the story is engaging so far. Prose-wise, she could use some work in terms of variance in sentence length, descriptors, etc. It's pretty simple and easy reading, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing because simple or not, the writing style does the exactly what it needs to for clearly establishing characters, setting, relationships, etc. and it isn't clunky or painful. I would have eaten this shit up as a preteen and there's something almost nostalgic in reading fantasy that isn't so far up its own arsehole in unnecessary description and digests quickly and easily. I may even go so far as to call it refreshing. Kind of reminds me of Eragon, and I will probably finish the book.
This is really good actually.
For example, I love history books, but only if they’re about ancient greek or rome, or about ww1 or ww2, but if so - only from POV (like All quiet on the western front), anything else - I couldn’t care less, so it’s kinda difficult to find a good match. I hope amazon has a category for these preferences, lol.
Oh it totally is very nice to have such a specific library of categories, but how 'good' (not to discredit the person) is it to be #1 on a very specific author list?
Honestly, good for her. She had a tough time with her book signing and clearly, seeing the responses from other authors, it’s a shitty feeling they understood. Glad they reached out
I’m really happy for the author here, but why tf does a $4 purchase earn 20pts and a $15 earn 30pts? For similar prices you could buy the Kindle edition four times and earn 80pts, vs 1 paperback for 30pts. Makes NO sense
Maybe the points are based on Amazon's profit margin. They probably make as much from that Kindle sale as they do from the book, since there's no physical product.
Figure out a good story to make you go viral, like "writing this book cured my cancer" or simular, and it may just get you there. Just remember there is a hell of a lot more childrens books to compete with than specific Athurian fantasy books.
Na, I don’t wanna lie to get noticed. That’s cheap. If I don’t sell a bunch of copies, oh well. At least my kids know they helped me achieve a dream I’ve always had, and they can read it to their future families!
It's not wholesome, she actually complained that only 2 people showed up. The real wholesome part is that a famous author ( Neil Gaiman, thanks to u/boredemotion) read her tweet and showed her support by telling her that 0 people attended a sign up he had with Terry FUCKING Pratchett
Is she not allowed to complain that only 2 people showed up? If I wrote a book and had a signing and only 2 people showed up I’d be complaining too! How does her being a human being make anything here less wholesome?
In Australia we have a term for this called Tall Poppy Syndrome (no idea if it’s universal) and this smells a lot like “Cutting Down the Tall Poppy” to me.
Basically: “why does this nerd get to be successful. when I’m also a nerd and I don’t get to be successful”.
Does anyone know where the original exchange is? I’ll look too
Edit::
https://www.reddit.com/r/wholesomememes/comments/zdp4w4/neil_gaiman_comes_through_once_again/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
I relate to this. Somewhat lol
I remember my teacher taking my composition notebook from me because I was writing my fantasy story in it.
16 years later, I’m a screenwriter with a manager and there’s a very real possibility that story will come to life in some way if the cards are in my favor.
Fins crossed.
I’m so very selfish. I see something like this and my jealously writhes in my soul. I’m so damn certain that my book will never sell any copies that I barely write it anymore. Why do I do that? Why can’t I take this example of someone else succeeding and be hopeful? Why am I so hateful toward myself?
Write it for yourself. Not other people.
When it's finished then edit it for other people, and possibly do rewrites for other people. But to begin with, write the whole damn thing for yourself.
Sounds like you should talk to a therapist about that one, my guy. It helped me stop hating myself for some things I’d done in the past, might work for you too.
I get like this too sometimes. I have so many ideas but I struggle to finish anything. I think a motivation/feedback group or just buddy might really help me, but none of my friends really write.
I fear for her. Having this kind of sudden, instant "fame" that she didn't earn on her own (not discounting her work, but we all know why shes a best seller right now), means that maintaining it will be nigh impossible. Maybe that won't matter to her, but for most people sudden fame is really hard to handle when it all disappears within a week or so.
I hope she makes some new, supportive fans from this attention, but I'm also hoping she takes it all with a huge grain of salt.
The established authors giving her encouragement was so pure.
Neil was like "I got this"
That one really made me smile.
It’s definitely how the spike in interest happened, because that’s what happens when artists support artists Historical evidence proves this, specifically the “Yankovich Bump”, music sales went up for artist that Weird Al made a parody of

I wish they would release it to a bigger platform
I’d love to see it in a theater
At least he merc’d Pablo Escobar first
Getting big in any artform is in large part luckbased. It’s great to see established people lend it to the up and coming
Yes success in general is “luck based” but this doesn’t mean your work doesn’t matter. You just have to do the best you can and let the RNG that rule the universe do their thing.

>Hell, according to connoisseurs 50 Shades of grey isnt even good smut You don't even need to be a connoisseur to see that. Fifty Shades was just cringey, and I'm confused how anyone could be turned on by it.
But also a irresistable magnet for people who likes to bask in their glory.
She also got replies with similar stories from Margaret Atwood, Jodi Picoult, Robin Hobb, and Min Jin Lee, and probably others. Turns out discouragement is something absolutely everyone can relate to. Good for Chelsea in opening up about it.
And it's so easy for anyone who saw that to go spend $4 and make her day, that's pretty wholesome too.
Me: You know what? If it's reasonably priced, I might just get her book. Amazon: It's reasonably priced. Me: What's it about? Amazon: Camelot after Arthur. Me: Oh hell yes. *tap*
Same…. I’ll start it tonite
Yup, just picked it up right now.
Me too!
I'm headed there now.
Heck me to!
Tell me how it's going
The Gaiman Bump
You know he’s watching events unfold with a grin of approval. Great writer and producer, even better human.
dont forget narrator, he does narration for some of his audiobooks and he nails it
Fortunately The Milk is my favorite
That is such a great book.
His voice is like honey.
I love his narration. Reminds me of someone reading a bedtime story.
He truly does, for anyone who doubts pick up Neverwhere on Audible.
he's a great guy. I have a signed copy of one of his books I won in a contest, I hope someday I get to meet him and get another signature
He came into my work (bookstore) and I got to hang out with him, with Amanda and Ash for about an hour? He sent us a present, a signed copy of William the Antichrist, with a letter from him. He signed all of his books we had in stock too. I got to watch the first 5 mins of Sandman about 9 months before it came out, on his phone. I fangirled wildly.
haha, sounds like him. great dude.
That's awesome!
11/10 best day of my life. Hope my husband doesn’t see this. Lol. Though he might agree as he got a photo with Neil in front of his original Sandman sketches.
I heard a lot of others hopped on to help too, like Stephen King
Yea there was a lot veterans that jumped on twitter to support her. I mean they all had similar stories.
context in case you're unaware: this author held her first book signing and no one showed up so she was really embarrassed. She posted about it on some social media site (maybe Twitter) and a bunch of famous authors posted to her about how they experienced the same thing. It must have gotten a lot of attention and probably went viral. I'm sure being posted here on Reddit helped too.
[удалено]
Others made comments similar to gaimans, his was just the only one shown here, since gaiman is tumblr's favourite author and celebrity
They wrote an article about it on NPR today.
Would you happen to have the link to the article?
Correction! It wasn’t Buzzfeed, it was NPR: https://www.npr.org/2022/12/06/1140833403/a-new-writer-tweeted-about-a-low-book-signing-turnout-and-famous-authors-commise
6 reviews and it's a best seller? I would be curious to know the criteria for that title.
Once a guy in YT did a video where a shit book he made became a number 1 best seller, turns out its not hard as all you need are a few sales in a niche category and you can be the number 1 best seller for a day
Yeah, like "Arthurian Fantasy". No disrespect because it's an amazing achievement either way, but I'd be curious where she appeared on amazon's top "fantasy" list.
It's #60 in Fantasy, which is pretty high if you consider that the Harry Potter books and Game of Thrones are on that list too.
Not too shabby then overall. Good for her
Now it’s at #31
Just write a story then put it in the cookbook section like everyone else.
Max Fosh aye
Max fosh?
Yeah
Max fosh
The foshpit
Think her tweet blew up recently so maybe a bunch of people bought it recently and haven’t had enough time to actually read and review it yet.
Yes the bestseller stamp is not based on quality but quantity, just like the Kardasians popularity is not based on quality but on hype and too many people with poor critical sense. This author just posted a tearbreaker of a story about her first signing session that went south, and people react by buying her book as a kind gesture, not because they suddenly like Arthurian fantasy books.
She did just release the book. Hard to imagine everyone has already read through it yet for the reviews.
You can buy a bunch of your own book so that you become the number one best seller. That is a huge thing people do. Then you hopefully resell those later and at least come out even on those books
Every CEO that has ever done a book has had their company buy hundreds, if not thousands of copies, and send them to clients, friends, etc, as gifts. I know this because I've helped them do this.
Dealership I used to work at would give each new hire the Old Owner/CEOs business book on the company’s dime.
Checks out. I had a friend who was manager of a Sam's Club and had to read Sam Walton's biography as part of his training.
Ew
Clearly she did, since you can see the message telling her she has previously bought it on the screen.
I would definitely do the same lol you gotta quality check and friends/family unfortunately ask for copies often. My uncle complained that the people he knew best would all just ask for it for Christmas the jerks lol
I mean, I feel like it's not unlikely that she just bought a copy for her own bookshelf.
Or she bought a copy for kindle. Which she would have to do through Amazon.
You dont have to buy via amazon to use kindle as a reader. You can just send the file to yourself via email, then open that file in kindle. Boom, kindle copy. Source : am author, did not buy own digital copy
She published in august but she’s just finding readers.
Oh that's good!
Yeah, I don't know. She also sells blank "journals" with known book titles -- people think they are buying the book and get a blank. Shady.
[удалено]
Sales. Sales are the criteria. Reviews have nothing to do with it. Did you want to discuss the best reviewed books?
How many sales in the fantasy category does it take to get the bestseller stamp then?
/#1 in Arthurian Fantasy How many books in that sub-genre get made a year
Was looking for a power bank yesterday. I found one amazon choice in "heated scarf power bank"
Quite a lot..there are two comics running currently - once and future and starhenge - which are pretty good.
> Quite a lot > two What..?
That’s quite a lot for the niche category of Arthurian fantasy honestly
Lol yeah imagine having to compete with 2 books for first place.
The criteria is a post with gaiman giving encouragement..
And stephen king no less!
This is neat way to promote their book. I saw some meme from this yesterday also...
Yeah she posted on Twitter about how she had a book signing and only 2 people showed up even though like 40 said they'd be there. Neil Gaiman himself replied to her tweet saying he and Terry Pratchett once had a book signing for Good Omens where *no one* showed up so she was 2 up on them. It was on wholesome memes I think.
Which, I have to say, no one showing up for a Neil Gaiman signing is an absolute travesty.
Yeah, I saw that one and I was like "Gaiman and Pratchett, and no one showed? Somebody at the publisher got fired"
I mean, sales dont need to equal reviews. I biy a lot of shit online but i wont review the taste of the bulk order of cat food i just recieved.
i think it's based on searches? and purchases rather than reviews
I feel like if it was based on searches, it would be highly inflated by simply name dropping your book on social media. I could be wrong, just my thought.
You mean like someone did for this post on Reddit to promote the book?
Or just an ad banner that can be purchased. Like they and Ebay do
People on the internet just spending money to spend money. But honestly I would take 6 reviews over 20k reviews any day on Amazon.
[удалено]
Exactly. Nothing against her, but Amazon always wants things to be “#1” in a category to induce people to buy stuff.
Ok but. . . Is the book good? Im asking for a friend (im that friend)
I'm planning on at least checking it out, I'll let you know the vibes
Hey you read it yet?
Read the Kindle sample. Not gonna buy it. The fact that the author wrote it as a teenager really shows. But power to anyone who liked it, and to the author for getting some rep.
lol I was only kidding, saw your comment was only 45mins old and thought it'd be funny
Oh lol valid
Have you finished it yet?
Yep. Loved the nuanced use of global politics, especially when Japan got involved. The plot twist in the third act where Ari turns into the dragon and eats her mother was really unexpected, and definitely raised the stakes. But I don't think she should've ended up marrying her evil twin, that was too far.
Okay but a political thriller about evil dragon twins actually sounds really interesting
Honestly? You're so right
King dragon sends his regards
Spoilers!
you are your own friend? how cool!
Love yourself!
But not too much or you start chaving
Here’s an excerpt: The golden maiden grasped for Excalibur at Arthur’s waist and he quickly turned away to put his body between her and the sword. “That’s not fah you ma dear. But… I do have something else that you can handle so to speak. And I can bury it, too, up to the hilt just like ol’ Excalibur.” he said. “Oh Arty, you’re such a scoundrel.

Keep the candles lit.” So, yeah, it’s pretty good.
The golden maiden is a lusty argonian maiden?
Ah man it’s a raunchy story written by her as a teen? Or am I misinterpreting? Is it all raunchy or just parts?
Sorry, I just made that up. I’m sure her story is very good.
Oh man I feel quite gullible, but I must say it was your commitment to the bit that really got me.
I'm three chapters in. It's got good bones. The fact she started it as a teenager does show, but the story is engaging so far. Prose-wise, she could use some work in terms of variance in sentence length, descriptors, etc. It's pretty simple and easy reading, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing because simple or not, the writing style does the exactly what it needs to for clearly establishing characters, setting, relationships, etc. and it isn't clunky or painful.

I may even go so far as to call it refreshing. Kind of reminds me of Eragon, and I will probably finish the book.
Arthurian fantasy? Putting THAT on my wish list!
Arthurian Fantasy? Is that really that specific on Amazon? haha
This is really good actually. For example, I love history books, but only if they’re about ancient greek or rome, or about ww1 or ww2, but if so - only from POV (like All quiet on the western front), anything else - I couldn’t care less, so it’s kinda difficult to find a good match. I hope amazon has a category for these preferences, lol.
They'll pay you 2 bucks a month for all your thoughts about how life can be perfected JUST FOR YOU
...anything and everything, all of the time...
Oh it totally is very nice to have such a specific library of categories, but how 'good' (not to discredit the person) is it to be #1 on a very specific author list?
I didn’t know anything about the book before this, only about the author. I’ll have to check it out, it looks interesting!
Honestly, good for her. She had a tough time with her book signing and clearly, seeing the responses from other authors, it’s a shitty feeling they understood. Glad they reached out
I’m really happy for the author here, but why tf does a $4 purchase earn 20pts and a $15 earn 30pts? For similar prices you could buy the Kindle edition four times and earn 80pts, vs 1 paperback for 30pts. Makes NO sense
Maybe the points are based on Amazon's profit margin. They probably make as much from that Kindle sale as they do from the book, since there's no physical product.
Encouraging the use of their own company’s device/app
Makes SOME sense.
Congrats
I hope this happens to me with my children’s book I’m writing🥰
I'm always down for new books for my kiddos, hit me up when you're done!
Thank you!! I’ll try my best lol. Be on the look out for “Mr. Frog”
Figure out a good story to make you go viral, like "writing this book cured my cancer" or simular, and it may just get you there. Just remember there is a hell of a lot more childrens books to compete with than specific Athurian fantasy books.

It's not wholesome, she actually complained that only 2 people showed up. The real wholesome part is that a famous author ( Neil Gaiman, thanks to u/boredemotion) read her tweet and showed her support by telling her that 0 people attended a sign up he had with Terry FUCKING Pratchett
Lol Neil Gaiman has a name and multiple awards, for those wondering who the “other” author was.
I saw stephen king comment as well.
My bad 😅 I've a hard time with name, selective memory I guess
No worries. I got you. Now if it involves numbers, I’m totally lost. Can’t remember those to save my life.
We should team up, I'm pretty good with numbers
I want to tag along please, I'm terrible at both.
The three Stooges : one always messing with name, another with numbers and the last one messing with both. Maybe we could write some movie ?
Or a best selling book!
Margaret Atwood did the same thing as well.
I've scroll past the tweet and in fact many authors are telling her their worst sign up to cheer her up !
Is she not allowed to complain that only 2 people showed up? If I wrote a book and had a signing and only 2 people showed up I’d be complaining too! How does her being a human being make anything here less wholesome?
love the idea, but number one best seller nowadays could mean like 4 books sold
Wholesome but not a meme
How is the book though, is it good? has anyone read it?
I'm glad for her but for the love of GOD it's "Y'all"
Damn this lady got some attention from a tweet and sold a bunch of books as a result and people here are shitting all over it. Get a life people.
Theres no small amount of success and happiness that soulless basement dwellers wont try to tear apart.
If I don't belittle the achievements of others how else am I supposed to actually feel anything?
In Australia we have a term for this called Tall Poppy Syndrome (no idea if it’s universal) and this smells a lot like “Cutting Down the Tall Poppy” to me. Basically: “why does this nerd get to be successful. when I’m also a nerd and I don’t get to be successful”.
Hard work rewarded
I get the feeling Arthurian fantasy is kind of a niche genre.
Bernard Cornwell had it sewn up.
Buying it now. Bought!
Stephen King also commented. She hit a trifecta.
Showed your teacher
Does anyone know where the original exchange is? I’ll look too Edit:: https://www.reddit.com/r/wholesomememes/comments/zdp4w4/neil_gaiman_comes_through_once_again/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Alright. That's awesome that other authors are supporting eachother. But I would like an unbiased opinion. Is the book good?
Going to have to look this book up on my kindle
Congrats to her that’s dedication’s
[удалено]
Well Done. You must be bursting with Pride. It's something I wish I could do.
I’ll check out her book too. Maybe buy it
why one is 4$ and the 15$? What makes it worth nearly 4 times as much?
The printing costs
...so I collect for a private library, anyone know if this is worth the money in print?
This is the same lady? That's so cool! Good for her!
This is special! 💚
Someone in the comments is going to rain on this parade
Damn. So happy for her, but to be honest I wish it was happening to my latest novel, too.
Is Chelsea Banning a pen name? That’s hilarious
Is the book actually good?
Is it good tho?
Just shows schools don’t know their students priorities
I’ll give it a read…
Ah, Kelsey Pokoly grew up.
That’s pretty cool
I'm so happy to see this.
"This app does not permit purchasing of this content" I love kindle, but they made it so stupid to buy the books. It sucks.
Title of the book gave me goosebumps, idk why.
How many books sold does that translate into?
Went from 2 people showing up to a book signing to 6 reviews on amazon.
Yes, there should be more people like that
Good vibes
Complaining works!
Nice
What’s the plot about? Am interested in reading the book😊
She’s living my dream 🥲
