When looking at individual publishers, there was no clear pattern, though it was interesting that Hachette skewed towards fairly highly educated writers. Does this imply that the Hachette/Amazon dispute has overtones of social class antagonism? It seems possible to me.
· Overall, Indies had somewhat lower levels of educational attainment than Trads, though the difference was not large. However, if we exclude “unknowns”, Trads were bimodal (many had no degree and many had an advanced degree) compared to Indies (mostly bachelor’s degrees).
· More highly educated writers tended to sell at higher prince points than less educated writers. Again, undertones of social class distinctions seem to be present.
