Number one remains the same as last year — people do love our list of literary outlets!
We’ve seen a great deal of interest in anything by Charlotte McConaghy.
It’s also very nice to see a mix of old and new. We have The Jungle, published in 1906, and The Wild Horse Effect, published this year.
See you next year!
