THE CROP OF NOVELS.
Works of Fiction Form the Majority of
Manuscripts Sent to Publishers

Works of Fiction Form the Majority OF
Manuscripts Sent to Publishers.
Novels form the largest part of the
book manuscripts received by publish
ing houses. says the Philadelphia
Times. Out of 100 manuscripts re
ceived during a recent fortnight by
a prominent publishing firm 62
were novels. In another case 81
out of 100 manuscripts submitted dur
ing three weeks were novels. This
same publisher told me that sometimes
the percentage of novels would reach
a. per cent. This tendency for novel
writing is undoubtedly due to the fact
that the greatest hits in the literary
world are made with novels and this
stimulates the average writer To work
III this field.
OF all these novels 1t is plain To be
seen from the figures given IN the pre-
ceding paragraph that scores must Toe
written before one Is accepted. And
even if a writer has a novel accepted
the percentage of success Il decidedly
against him During this investi i.ration
process | selected fifteen recently pub
lished novels issued by six different
houses and | learned that the entire
number printed of these fifteen was
Al 900 copies. or 2,IOO copies of each
And in this fifteen 5000 copies were
printed of one novel-really the only
successful novel of the lot. 1t IS safe
to say that of these fifteen novels the
average sale of each will not reach
1000 copies But giving that number
to each, the novel selling at 81, the
author would receive less than 800 for
his manuscript, deducting for mutilat-
ed copies and those sent to the news
papers, etc. l know case after case
where authors did not receive $50, all
told, as a return for a novel, and some
times very much less than that.
