I am trying to see what the traditional publishers trends look like for discovering and publishing first-time novelists over the past 20 years. In print. Any idea where to find that? I believe it has declined from the 1980s but would like hard numbers if possible. Thanks.

Yes, I agree. Fish’s concern over authorial attention is, well, fishy.

I’ve not been following things closely enough to have a sense of just when and how the “digital humanities” term was invented, but it’s unfortunate.

lots of books published — lots of songs released — lots of pictures painted and so on. As my uncle the used car salesman used to say “there’s an ass for every seat.” Extraordinary works of art don’t come along very often in any case.
