Re: my fiction is about ideas that are of interest mostly to people who don't read fiction. a bad marketing strategy.

I indeed laughed out loud (not just a virtual lol), because...

a) When I read "Out of Body" -- which I greatly enjoyed -- it struck me that the audience for the piece was incredibly niche: people who are attuned to the (fairly rare) theological perspective that the physical body is something of eternal significance.

b) I don't read much fiction

c) My day job is market research, where we are constantly whinging on about marketing strategies such as the need to address larger market segments with more appealing offerings etc.

Just a reminder that your work is greatly appreciated, even if your audience is a sliver of a sliver.
