But, as Harvey as pointed
out, many posters here have seen their work published in a
variety of different forms. elanders [1] has yet to specify
further criteria relating to publication eg Amazon ranking,
My (commissioned) book from 1991 on Romney Marsh churches apparently stands proudly today at rank number 1,643,034 on amazon.co.uk.

When I meet the guy at 1,643,035, he's gonna feel the lash of my triumphalism, I tell ya'.

I'm a co-author of "Exploring Gloucestershire's Industrial Heritage",
which doesn't even appear on Amazon. Then there's my thesis, of
course (if 4 copies counts as "published", and a lot of internal
writing for work.

I suspect a lot of people write things - instruction manuals, proposals,
minutes, whatever - for their employers that get read by at least as
many people than many filler articles in small newspapers. I'm also
pretty sure that it's more important that they are readable and clear as
well.

What I'm getting here, Nick, is that like you and Laura, this group is made up of benchwarmers.
