News Summary: Bookshop.org Sales Surge 55% to $70 Million; E-books Now 5% of Total Sales

We start the week with some good news that segues interestingly out of the news that many indie authors have found alarming at the end of last week. The indie corner of the internet has been filled with little other than discussion (much heated) of Draft2Digital's decision to introduce fees for new and low-activity accounts in the face (it claims) of a vast increase in artificially generated content.

The City & The City posted their 2025 bestsellers and we love to see a Stelliform book on the list! Also of note: the book is on the list because it is great, yes, but also because The City & The City read and loved it and recommended it and made it a bookclub feature. Indie bookstores are THE BEST.

Countdown is on!

At the end of 2025, I'm closing The Scribbling Lion as an indie bookstore and shifting focus to selling my own books.

There are still lots of great holiday gifts left on the shelves, and I'm about to post a very sharp markdown in service of ending the year with an empty store.

Check out the Shop, and watch the hashtag #scribblinglion for the sale to start!
