And the numbers I’ve examined show the boycott is failing miserably. Proof is looking at the actual sales numbers for Tor books. In all, the sales of these Tor titles demonstrated similar patterns to what they sold prior to the boycott starting…. Yes, some titles saw a slight drop but this was offset by other titles increasing their sales or titles keeping relatively steady sales. Sanford has published a colorful graph based on data sets about the sales of 10 well-known Tor books between May 24 and July 5 and draws the conclusion -Īs you can see, there’s no significant drop in sales due to the boycott. To see if the boycott was effective, I examined BookScan numbers for a selection of Tor titles by different authors.
Grant first called for the Tor boycott on June 19, followed almost immediately by others affiliated with the Pup campaigns. My proof? Turns out the boycott has had no noticeable impact on the sales of Tor’s books, as determined by a sampling of Tor sales reported through Nielsen BookScan, a publishing industry sales-tracking system. Jason Sanford says “Pups all bark, no bite as Tor boycott fails” .
