It's really hard to get addicted to Instagram - it's the land of selfies and hashtags and that's about it. I find it eminently resistible...but occasionally someone interesting like Catherynne M Valente does something interesting on it.
So, while I get not wanting to invest in an unfinished series, sales for a second book can be the deciding factor in whether a publisher takes on the third. That might not be a big issue with a writer like Valente, but given the state of genre publishing, one never knows and readers not buying a second book can kill a series and possibly a career. Self publishers also consider previous sales when deciding what books to invest time and energy in. Just something to consider.
Hi there. Your post would be better asked in our Simple Questions thread. It helps us keep the main subreddit focused around broader discussion rather topics which only apply to an individual. Thank you!
