Basically, Jim O'Shaughnessy (our CEO) made his money in finance, but he also had a couple of NYT bestsellers in the past - and saw how broken traditional publishing is. So in this new venture, he (and we) are basically trying to build a new kind of author-first publisher, that actually pays writers a large percentage of the profits (often writers will get <10% of the royalties in traditional publishing). It's kind of like taking the best aspects of traditional and self-publishing and carving a middle ground. Also, we're not tied to any kind of conveyor-belt mentality, we only publish what we actually think is of high-quality. We're kind of trying to be HBO in the early 2000s: to develop a name that, when you see a new release, you already know it's going to be well-made at the very least
