I find it pretty amazing their company has 60 employees. Also worth the read to learn about Audible pricing. I didn't know. I'm pretty addicted to audio books, but now will have to seek out other alternatives when I can.
- plandis 4y ago60 employees didn’t seem that wild when you consider they took on the role of publisher for his secret projects kickstarter. 186k backers of which a decent portion are getting 4 physical books over the next year.
- LegitShady 4y agoshipping 600k books to individual backers is a massive undertaking without writing, editing, publishing, and other merchandise.
- Jemaclus 4y agoAFAIK, most of them are actually warehouse employees at entry-level wages that ship his books/swag from his online store and other endeavors, and also handle the kickstarter fulfillment process, versus white-collar jobs like editors and artists and so on. It's still impressive to have 60 employees, though, especially as an author (Robert Jordan only had four, to my knowledge).
- taude 4y agoYeup, I wasn't implying white-collar jobs, or anything. Just the volume of people required to pull something like this off.
- taude 4y agoI did lead me down a James-Patterson worm-hole though, on how there's so many James Patterson books out there (mostly that he DOES NOT write at this point).
