To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.
“Honestly speaking, when we pitch a book as 'a stunning debut that will redefine contemporary fiction,' what we really mean is 'the author has 340,000 TikTok followers and we're gambling that 0.8% of them will impulse-buy hardcover.' The prose could be written in crayon and we'd still print 100,000 copies if the influencer metrics check out.”
