BTB102: From the Wall Street Journal Discontinuation to Success Magazine's New Ecosystem, Sales Metrics, and Future Trends with Michael Drew—Author, Speaker, CEO, and Marketing and Promotion Expert

This week, we welcome back Michael Drew to our show. He is a seasoned expert on book lists and is known for his deep knowledge and insights into the world of best-seller rankings. Michael frequently shares his expertise on how various lists operate and their impact on the book industry.

Michael dives into the recent discontinuation of the Wall Street Journal’s best-seller list, thoroughly exploring the reasons behind it and what it means for the industry. Losing the list has hit bookstores, publishers, and authors hard since it was a major sales driver. Michael also talks about how Success Magazine could build a whole ecosystem around its list with things like book reviews, cliff notes, book clubs, and partnerships with retailers like Books-A-Million. Michael’s insights offer a glimpse into how these new lists are trying to step up to fill the void and their potential to reshape the landscape of book rankings.
