"The system is not good. The system isn’t broken because there is no
system. Publicists work SO SO SO SO SO hard with the limited resources
they have and they deserve all the praise and gift baskets we can
muster. But they aren’t magic. All we have is media and that’s where
people find out about books so there we are. We also have librarians and
booksellers and there are whole other systems to get them books so they
can connect the right reader to the right book. Goodreads was supposed
to solve some of this, the profound failure of book discoverability, but
it didn’t and won’t. Every time I talk to someone in tech I beg them to
solve this for us, but I don’t exactly know how."
