World Weaver Press Bestsellers: July 2021

7/5/2021

I normally share these right after paying biannual royalties, but here it is a month later, and I just realized I never actually posted the blog! It's important to me to celebrate our bestsellers because publishing can be a very lonely game. We've certainly published several wonderful books that have not reached the audience we hoped they would, and some books take a while to find their readers. Take, for example, Far Orbit, an anthology of optimistic space adventures, which is reaching far more readers now than seven years ago when it was first released! If you read and enjoyed this space opera anthology, please note that there's a second volume waiting for you: Far Orbit Apogee. And every time I think the Krampus trend has faded, here come a whole new rush of readers discovering the creative Krampus re-imaginings in He Sees You When He's Creepin' and Krampusnacht. While ebooks dominate sales for most of our titles, these two tend to sell better in paperback—they make great stocking stuffers!

Congratulations to all of the authors and editors represented in this bestseller list, and many thanks to every single person who has ever purchased a World Weaver Press book, or written a review for one, or requested one from your local library. We're still here because of you.

A few notes on these rankings:

This list takes into account all vendors (Amazon, iTunes, website sales, libraries etc.), from all countries, in both ebook and paperback.
Vendors may not report sales to us for one to four months after the actual sale, so even though I'm calling this list "first half of 2021," it may include sales ranging from October 2020 to May 2021, depending on vendor reports.
Only books currently in print are included in this bestsellers list.
Small presses rely on reviews from readers like you! If you read any of our books, either recent or backlist, please consider leaving an honest review on Amazon and/or Goodreads so more readers can discover our books.
