It's an unprecedented deal for the author, whose 'Mistborn' series and 'The Stormlight Archive' are being eyed for film and television adaptation, respectively.
Its a lot easier when you fucking hate them both lmao
I was a huge fan for a long time. Took his “secret project” series to open my eyes. Guy launched a whole campaign around the idea that he would help improve the working conditions and pay of voice actors and authors alike. He raised $43 million dollars for 4 books and some merch with the promise that none of these books would be on Amazon until things changed at audible and kindle.
Can you guess what happened? He got his check and not even a month later he’s slinging all the books and audiobooks on Amazon. Of course. Mr.Mormon gotta tithe, after all. He can write all the gay and transgender superheroes he wants, so long as his money supports conversion therapy and polygamy.
Hmmm I dont actually know anything about the guy himself so this is all news to me, I generally consume books knowing nothing about the author behind them at all.
Thanks for the info though, I’m gonna look into this more, at least I have never paid him any money for the books!
I bit the bullet and got one month of Apple+ to binge Severence and watch Tetris. Only money I’ve ever given the company but those were worth it. I’ll probably do the same for Cosmere and watch Pluribus too.
I’m conflicted. I fucking love Sanderson and fucking hate Apple in equal amounts…
