Audible’s new proposed royalty structure is a slap in the face to authors, readers who care about them, and exactly opposite of what they promised Brandon Sanderson barely a year ago.
It is an attempt to seize a monopoly by punishing authors until they agree to exclusivity, which would drive Audible’s competitors out of the market.
You know Amazon does this for books too. But as an author I just say no and publish on as many platforms as I can.
I know nothing about publishing but it seems to me more platforms greater exposure
