I'm deeply uninterested in any question about why authors are making less money that doesn't start by asking, "so how much money are publishers making?"
they're charging libraries through the nose for those ebooks, after all. if anyone was worried about authors we'd get 50% net minimum on that
You all-- I never thought I'd see the day, but library peeps, strap in for a fight. The Author's Guild is going after us as the reason why authors are making less money. I don't think they understand who they are dealing with: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
A survey commissioned by the Guild found that only 25% of print books and e-books read in the past month were bought new or through a paid subscription, with readers increasingly turning to low- or no...www.publishersweekly.com
These books are amazing, you want them! Well I haven't read Prince of Storms yet but the first 3 are wonderful and so is everything else I've read by these two.
Get thee to your local indie bookstore and pre-order!
This FACE is staring at me from under my monitor and work is now like 15-20% less annoying 😂.

we were in the awkward position of being ready to launch the Mercenary Librarians trilogy right when Macmillan was restricting ebook sales to libraries during the launch window. We were upset, to say the least. I was on the phone with a VP who gave me all their library data. It didn't sway me.
I understand concerns about friction and I absolutely agree that some limitations on ebooks make sense if we want to be able to make the math continue to math. But I believe that most of our current solutions are lurching wildly in all directions and serving no one, in the end.
but libraries are not my enemy. 🤷♀️
