But among the unwashed masses Martin, King, Rowling, and Gaiman are much better known. They are today's bestsellers.

And what I said was that among the authors that also write outside of the genre she is very well known. Rowling writes in two genres so not outside genre. King seems to me to be a genre in himself. Similar for Gaiman and I do not remember him writing something outside of the fantastic. I have only read fantasy and sf from Martin.
