Novelist, comics writer, and librarian based in Portland, Oregon.
According to the Lulu Titlescorer, The Rules for Hearts has a 26.3% chance of being a bestseller. That’s four percent higher than the score for Empress!
Needless to say, this is bullshit. But still! Make up titles and post the results in the comments!
You've found Sara Ryan's website. I write books and comics for teens and others, I work as a librarian, and I blog about any number of things, though estate sales, thrift stores, and my cat are recurring themes. Some things you can do here: listen to me read my first novel, Empress of the World, read some of the comics I've written, and find out what I got certificates of achievement for in 1983.

The All New Thebes Variety Show is 26.3 but if I just call it THEBES it becomes a 72 percent best seller.
I would call it COMMIES FROM MARS but man, that’s already a kick-ass dirty comic
uh :(

I jump upon the bullshit bandwagon! I’ve got three novels in the beginning stages of being shopped, and now I can tell my prospective agents my chances of “best-seller” status.
C-C-Chigger…45.6%
Banana Sunday…63.7%
Red Zipper Sidekick…63.7%
Yee-hah! I’m quittin’ my day job right now.
