Interview #976: Talking With Tom: A Conversation Between Tom Doherty and Harriet McDougal, Entry #6
Tom Doherty
Just to comment apropos of what I was saying earlier about this talented lady: we just got the Indie bestseller list in. Robert Jordan’s A Memory of Light is number one, okay? But another book Harriet acquired, Ender’s Game , is number seven on the mass market list. This novel was published in ‘85. Now, how many books from ‘85 are in the top ten bestsellers?
Harriet McDougal
This is a year for Ender’s Game if ever I saw one.
Tom Doherty
Well, we’re ahead of publicity. It’s just starting. It’s on the bestseller list now. It was last year too. Seventeen times, if you count the extended bestseller list of the Times .
Harriet McDougal
Wow, that’s amazing.
Tom Doherty
Yeah. And Harriet’s mentioned in the novel’s acknowledgments. Scott [Orson Scott Card] talks about what a great editor she is, too. So there are other people with exactly the same opinion.
