The SFF All-Time Sales List

[Mark_Lawrence]

I have read 24 of these authors, many only one of their books but some I have read all of them.

I really hate to see Hobb only selling 1million+ while Goodkind has sold 25million+ but hey, I have read them both so I shouldnt talk.

I wonder what Sanderson's number would be??

I don't believe the Hobb figure for a moment (or at least its implication - I _do_ believe she's sold over 1 million). I suspect 10 million+ is far closer to the truth.

 

[Bick]

This is interesting, but its a very incomplete list. If the big names of traditional SF have sold as indicated (Asimov 20 million; Herbert 18 million), then where are Heinlein and Clarke, for instance? I'm sure they are not less than 125 thousand, so I have to assume they are just missing. The same would go for Niven, LeGuin, Aldiss, Moorcock, Piers Anthony, Iain Banks, Harry Harrison, Cherryh, McCaffrey, Baxter, Crichton etc. All these have sold well and I am certain they will have sold more than Bakker (at 125,000), and they are just 11 authors off the top of my head.

 

[Nerds_feather]

Nice to see Stanislaw Lem so high on the list.

 

[Werthead]

Yes, Hobb has sold a lot more than 1 million. 10 million I could easily believe; she was Voyager's bestselling author for many years, and GRRM overtook her surprisingly late in the day (after AFFC, IIRC). The 1 million figure was also for the first nine Robing Hobb books alone up until 2003, so it's a decade out of date, plus there's the eight books she's released since, plus her older Megan Lindholm stuff that's since been reprinted and so on.

If someone can find a source confirming the 10 million thing, I'd be grateful.

Heinlein is on the new list (printed below), having sold 11.5 million books up to the early 1980s. He's probably sold rather more by now.

Arthur C. Clarke has comfortably sold millions and millions of books, probably a lot more than Heinlein and likely on a par with Asimov. I know his book deals in the 1970s and 1980s dwarfed either. There are some indications of individual book sales but nothing for his whole career.

I didn't include Michael Crichton: he's sold more than 200 million books (!) but only a small number of those are unambiguously SF. He also wrote a lot of thrillers and several historical novels and separating his SF work from the non-SF work is impossible. The same problem arises for Dean Koontz, though I was able to separate out Margaret Atwood's figures. I also found figures of McCaffrey and Le Guin, though again they are rather imprecise and old (McCaffrey only has 'millions').

74) Elizabeth Moon (100,000+)
75) Gail Z. Martin (100,000+)

 

[Kissmequick]

Hmm some of the lower end ones seem a little off?

For example. Elizabeth Moon has..ten? books out (so says her Wiki bibliography). So 100 000 would be 10 000 per book. Which is a tiny amount. I read recently that a reasonable sales figure for a mainstream UK debut is 3-5k.* Add in the US (a LOT bigger market) and Oz etc...and 10 000 per book looks kind of low, doesn't it? OK, yeah we're talking SFF not mainstream and I know you say 100 000 + and these are only ball park figures, but that just seems very low (Same with Gail Z Martin and others with many books out -- authors with only a few books pubbed looks more reasonable)

* I was also reading an agent blog the other day who had calculated his client's average sales per book, and it came in at 20 000. Obviously this is going to depend on your clients/genre/publishers etc. I shall see if I can find it.

 

[Werthead]

Yes. The Gail Z. Martin figure is old. The Elizabeth Moon figure is 100,000 copies of her Paksenerrion trilogy omnibus alone, not the individual books or her numerous other books, so it's a heck of a lot more than 100,000, but that's the only hard figure I could find, so it's what was stuck with using.

 

[Kissmequick]

Ahhh that makes more sense now

 

[biodroid]

Silly question but I read somewhere that Dean Koontz has sold over 300 Mil already and that was in the 90's or am I mistaken? I wonder what percent the author gets from a sale?

 

[Montero]

Silly question but I read somewhere that Dean Koontz has sold over 300 Mil already and that was in the 90's or am I mistaken? I wonder what percent the author gets from a sale?

At a convention some years ago figures between 6% and 10% of cover price were being bandied around, with 10% being very much not for beginners.

Whether it is still on cover price, or whether it is now on sale price including discounts, I don't know.

This would be only once any advance had been earned, and less the agent's commission if they have an agent.

 

[Kissmequick]

All depends on the contract, but it's usual to have a grading -- for example 6% for the first X thousand, then 8% on sales over that, up to X thousand, when you get 10%

As for whether you're paid on cover price or discount etc, that's in your contract too (gross royalties v royalties paid on net). Unscrupulous publishers have, I've seen in the past (small pubs the ones I've seen) tried to use paying on net to pay the authors less -- claiming all sorts as expenses etc. But there are good publishers who pay net. Most pubs will have a boilerplate contract where it specifies gross or net, and if net what expenses are included to reach the net figure.

For instance one of my old contracts (for one of my romances -- I happened to have it handy ETA note: romance is a tricky thing -- the authors rely on a quick, high turnover rather than on good rates, because of the nature of the genre --high volume of titles, and sales, low cost, for category romances. Most authors will put out multiple books a year because of this) states that it pays, for a particular edition, X% of cover price. Different editions (e-book, audio, different territories etc) will have different rates. However it notes that where the retail price is not available to them (I have no idea how that would happen, but they're covering themselves) I would get X% of net amount received. I get the full rate of royalty even if the book is discounted, because I get it based on cover/list price.

A different contract (for a different pub) notes that copies discounted by 50% or more by certain retailers, I get only a portion of the usual royalty, and on export sales (this is a small US pub) I get X% of what the publisher receives (ie net), and that I get a higher rate of X% of cover price when the book is sold directly from the pub website as opposed to through say amazon. (One reason buying directly from small pubs is always nice -- the author gets more!) This pub has quiet a complicated lot of royalty thingys as it happens -- far more than any of my others, which are mostly fairly straightforward.

All these earnings go towards your advance at first (if you GET an advance, lots of small pubs don't offer them) until you earn out, then any earned are paid to you

So it's going to depend on the publisher and what their standard is, and also what you can negotiate (Another great reason to have an agent!) Obviously, someone like Koontz, who sells bazillions, will have a good leverage for negotiating a better rate because the pub can be pretty sure of getting their money back plus extra

 

[Werthead]

Koontz has written supernatural/fantastical horror but, as far as I can tell, a lot of psychological or 'straight' horror. On that basis separating out his fantastical work and non-fantastical is very difficult.

That's the same reason I didn't include Crichton (200 million+): he has SF and semi-SF works, but also a lot of straightforward thrillers and a few historical novels.

 

[Rodders]

in fairness, you do have Stephen King on the list.

 

[clovis-man]

This is interesting, but its a very incomplete list. If the big names of traditional SF have sold as indicated (Asimov 20 million; Herbert 18 million), then where are Heinlein and Clarke, for instance? I'm sure they are not less than 125 thousand, so I have to assume they are just missing. The same would go for Niven, LeGuin, Aldiss, Moorcock, Piers Anthony, Iain Banks, Harry Harrison, Cherryh, McCaffrey, Baxter, Crichton etc. All these have sold well and I am certain they will have sold more than Bakker (at 125,000), and they are just 11 authors off the top of my head.

My thoughts as well. Thanks for listing some of the notable omissions.

[Parson]

The bottom part of this list is stunning. Elizabeth Moon with something like 100,000 copies? Ann McCaffery and Robin Hobb with just over a million? Lois McMaster Bujold with two million copies? These are giants of the field. Perhaps almost a mystifying is the fact that they are trumped by all sorts of authors about whom I've never heard.

 

[Brian G Turner]

The plus sign means those are minimum figures, with exact ones unknown.

 

[Werthead]

in fairness, you do have Stephen King on the list.

Yes, but the overwhelming majority of King's work is SFF and the majority of his sales are clearly from his SFF works. CS Lewis also wrote a fair number of non-fiction and non-SFF works, but I'd hazard that a minimum of 95% of his sales are of the Narnia books alone, so the rest is negligible.

Compare that to Crichton, who wrote 27 novels but only 8 of them are unambiguously SF. Those include some of his best-known books (Jurassic Park, Sphere, The Andromeda Strain etc) but he's also written quite a few big-selling books which aren't SFF at all.

However, I have included authors in brackets who have written SFF but isn't the basis for all or the majority of their books.

The bottom part of this list is stunning. Elizabeth Moon with something like 100,000 copies? Ann McCaffery and Robin Hobb with just over a million? Lois McMaster Bujold with two million copies? These are giants of the field. Perhaps almost a mystifying is the fact that they are trumped by all sorts of authors about whom I've never heard.

As I said above, Moon's figure is many times that, probably a couple of million at least. However, I can't find any info to support that. The 100,000 figure is of the US edition of the omnibus of her first trilogy alone.

Hobb's figure is ten years old. I'd say it was at least four or five times that by now but again, no info to support that.

Bujold's is again an old figure, but actually more likely to be accurate. Bujold is a success in the United States, but pretty unknown outside of it (every attempt to publish her in the UK has been abandoned after a book or two due to poor sales).
