Some fun Unspeakable sales facts! (At least, they're fun if you're knee-deep in spreadsheets...)
Our two most successful months to date have been March, closely followed by June
While Amazon is our largest ebook seller, many people decide to buy directly from us https://twitter.com/CelineNyx/status/1298234686087536641

During our free-if-you-want promotion at the start of the pandemic, we gave away more than a hundred free copies of Unspeakable
Our print/digital sales are about 50/50. I credit the amazing cover made by @jenni_coutts and @CharlieBramald for people wanting a paper copy!

It has been 179 days since Unspeakable was published! Our little queer book is almost half a year old
We have spent less than $100 on marketing in total. We reach readers through word of mouth and social media

This thread was brought to you by a wish to be more transparent. Publishing is so opaque and difficult to get into. If anyone interested in the inner workings of a tiny independent press, do send us a message! We're happy to pass on any knowledge we have
