The Dwindling Number of Authors on NYT Fiction Bestseller List [OC] Posted by waitingforgoodoh Tags:DataData Is BeautifulDataIsBeautiful 5 comments I got this data through the NYT API, which is fun to play with. You’re welcome to access it & make a copy through this[ Google Sheet.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mzl3GcyRxxl6AEzjMJdUxZhOMwsGaoROAod_rg_JC3s/edit?gid=1821465921#gid=1821465921) I analyzed it in detail [here](https://residualthoughts.substack.com/p/which-book-clubs-are-most-powerful), check it out if you’re interested! Yeah it’s all political shitfucks and self help grifters. God forbid anything of value makes it on the list Did anything notable cause the 2022 drop? Saw 35 fewer entries. And if you looked at the number of male authors represented you’d find those numbers already to be much fewer and declining even faster. 🙂 NYTBS is being overrun by female authors and romance novelists. Safe to say quality is suffering as a result. *Shudders* Yes, quality definitely goes down when there are more *shudder* females involved. Comments are closed.
