Big Time authors are in an odd place: they are brands unto themselves so they are best placed to make a killing off self-publishing while at the same time they have enough clout to negotiate massive lump-sum deals for their books.

It'll be interesting who walks away from the negotiating table first: the publishers or the Big Time authors.
