Book sales! What's normal... if you don't sell 1K copies your first week are you a failure? What should you expect after three months, six, a year? I'm sharing some thoughts and real numbers for the non-bestsellers/breakouts... which is most authors.
Mostly I want to reassure the average author out there--you're probably doing better than you think!
Obligatory disclaimers: I'm sharing as best I can from the perspective of a midlist author. I also have the most context for YA sales numbers, though some adult genre knowledge is mixed in (and some YA stats are applicable generally to adult).
