Are indie authors truly independent?

This episode of Numbers & Letters is the biggest yet! Rather than our regular 15 min broadcast, today's is a double feature, to answer a simply enormous question, are indie authors truly independent? In this episode, number six, you'll discover where indies make most of their sales, the similarities between publishing and investing, why free books hardly ever get read, and why Amazon isn't a monopoly (and what it actually is instead).

This bumper episode is best accompanied by the blog post on which it was based, where you'll find diagrams representing healthy, monopolistic, monopsonistic, and monomesazonic book markets.

Join author, linguist, and mathematician-in-the-making Sarah on an exploration of the world through the lens of letters and numbers!
