Genre Fiction Market

[jeffreyab]

Does anyone know where to find good statistics on how the fiction market breaks down according to how much mystery, fantasy, science fiction or horror is sold?

I'd ask a librarian. ;-)

Doesn't break down F/SF/horror, though.

Hard to find, that.

Interesting bit from Publisher's Weekly that gives total sales , to give you an idea of scale (elhi = "elementary to high school")

Certainly bodice-rippers and Christian fiction account for probably more than two-thirds of all genre fiction sales in North America.
