my two cents :
every author, trad of SP,needs to know who their audience is and that audience usually starts with themselves. if you write what you like to read, then that's the market.
i think unknown authors are read not just because readers want to try something mainstream.
i am a SP author and obviously an unknown one. the readers who have read me do so because they want to try thrillers (my genre) by new authors - which is different from going outside mainstream...unless of course you meant the same thing
