Was just thinking about my Podiobooks version of "A Handy Guide for Beggars." Evo Terra told me that non-fiction doesn't make a big splash on Podiobooks, most of the time. Probably true enough; there's a lot of good fiction there. I find it hard to stop by and not subscribe to yet another novel.
After the initial burst of folks, "Beggars" has consistently gotten one new subscriber a day. That's certainly not earth-shaking, relative to the original fiction other folks put up. But it struck me suddenly: this book is almost a century old. In how many other venues is "Beggars" getting one new reader a day? At how many local public libraries does one person a day walk in to check out that book?
At Podiobooks, they do. Because I put it there.
That's not huge. But it's something, huh?
