"Without nonfiction being made available in formats within people’s means...the idea that the reading public has been zapped of its political energy begins to look, at a minimum, over-indexed. Maybe people aren’t tired of facts. Maybe they simply can’t afford them." @tajjaisen.bsky.social nails it

this is really good. and mirrors some of the self-defeating attitude I've heard myself

Is nonfiction in crisis? Or are people sick of the Big Politics Book of the Season industry?

In the broader scheme of things, I don't doubt this to be true. Which only reinforces how strange our store manages to be. I just looked at 45 of our bestselling 100 adult titles (not including events or bulk orders) are nonfiction. If we included events, it would be an even 50/50 split.

“God knows most novels are shit, but nobody is out here suggesting we all just stop writing them”. A great look here by @tajjaisen.bsky.social at the non-fiction publishing landscape & its current challenges, including the self-inflicted ones thewalrus.ca/nonfiction-i...

Megan and I (probably) won't so singlehandedly save nonfiction with @draftingthepast.bsky.social, but we are passionate about building a venue to get the word out about nonfiction history. If that's something you care about, consider a paid subscription! thewalrus.ca/nonfiction-i...

A great piece on the challenges confronting nonfiction publishing. My agent has mentioned some of this to me, but I didn’t realize it was this dire. thewalrus.ca/nonfiction-i...

As much as I love Rough Draft Bar & Books, let me reassure people who are anxious about its nonfiction sale proclomations that it's a tiny bookshop. A small sample. thewalrus.ca/nonfiction-i...

Really enjoyed this piece, which implicitly suggests another good reason to support small and university presses as much as you can: many of them are the ones willing and ready to take chances on nonfiction books that big five publishers are more than ever too scared to take on.

Have a story that feels too long to publish?
- @robinjames.bsky.socialBluesky
Given the Discourse today about nonfiction trade publishing, I'll just remind all my scholar friends that MANY university presses also do legit trade nonfiction. That's why I chose @uncpress.bsky.social for my WOXY book - it's a trade book but I wanted the freedom to publish the book *I* wanted

a lot of big, hard pieces on the state of things came out today, and I really loved and felt so much of this one from @tajjaisen.bsky.social

As many people have shared, this article was really awesome. Some find it depressing. I don't. Because I think there are plenty of solutions. I want to say I'll have time to write this up fully, but I probably won't, so a few thoughts. I agree with the bit about hardcover prices, to start.

Tharaiyelagh has never encountered horror media, but he would probably like it. Akieryon prefers nonfiction. #queerwriterschat
