When I saw that Brandon Sanderson posted here, I squeed.
Love your work, B!
I do have a question though, why $20 for a novella? (Legion)
I wasn’t originally going to do a print edition. When I priced it out to do myself, I wasn’t certain I could both make it worthwhile time-wise but still be cheap enough to be reasonable.
My agent suggested to me that we go to sub-press. The print editions they do are considered collector’s editions. There will be an ebook release (probably at the same time) for $2.99–the idea is that anyone who just wants to read the book can buy the inexpensive ebook. Those who want a nice copy to put on the shelf can buy the limited edition print.
I don’t know how sub-press arrives at their prices. Their print runs aren’t huge, though, and so I suspect a lot of it is the due to the requirement of maintaining staff, office space, and the like.
