I don't think that is at all certain. "Every" author?! Perhaps all the writers who Doctorow knows of -- all those writers who have become famous... The wording is curious, too. "Come away satisfied" doesn't necessarily mean "sell more."<br /><br />The jury is still out on my experiment with blogging the book for free. So far it doesn't look promising about sales, but of course I am coming away satisfied -- most authors don't write primarily to sell but primarily to share. And free sharing feels "satisfying."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
