The Fiction Factory: Being the experience of a writer who, for twenty-two years, has kept a story-mill grinding successfully
Cook, William Wallace
Authorship; Fiction
Who have been the patrons of the Factory for these twenty-two years,
and what have been the returns?
A vast amount of work has been necessary in order to formulate exact
answers to these questions. Papers and other memoranda bearing upon
the subject were widely scattered. During Edwards' travels about the
country many letters and records were lost. The list that follows,
therefore, is incomplete, but exact as far as it goes. More work was
realized upon, by several thousands of dollars, than is here shown. For
every item in the record Edwards has a letter, or a printed slip that
accompanied the check, as his authority. The errors are merely those of
omission.
Titles of the material sold will not be given, but following the name
of the publication that purchased the material will be found the year
in which it was either published or paid for.
