It's pretty important, though. A good book pushes the marketing forward on oiled wheels. A bad one fights back. Writing good books is what we're supposed to be doing, isn't it?  |
I kind of have to disagree a bit with this... You can write an amazing, literary, brilliant book, but if there is no audience to even give it a try, then it will remain obscure and unread.
Notice how ebooks are selling, but most of the high sellers are all in genre fiction (paranormal romance, horror, thrillers, etc)...
