It's interesting to me just as an indicator of how weird the publishing market is, or I guess more accurately, how weird the self-funding process is compared to traditional financing models and how it seems like it's just obviously going to take over from the existing model for a lot of already-established creators with large nerd fan followings.

You look at the mainstream publishing model on the one hand, and then you look at the number of people who are actively enthusiastic about paying Sanderson hundreds or thousands of dollars on the other, and it just feels like these things do not add up.

Right? I'm surprised more big name authors haven't gone this route, but I guess it could be potentially awkward for them to disrupt long-established relationships with their agents and publishers, even if they weren't actively under contract. I know some authors have publicly stated that they're not interested in doing this because they don't want to handle the nitty gritty details like book cover design, formatting, marketing, etc. themselves but you know, I figure Sanderson could outsource that pretty easily with that kickstarter money.
