Looking at the names at the bottom of this page, it seems that the Authors Alliance is geared towards the interests of university professors who get nicely paid for being reviewed authors, regardless of book (and journal article) sales:

Authors who are eager to share new works may feel torn between publication outlets that maximize public access and others that restrict access but claim to provide value in terms of peer review and prestige, or even fame and fortune.

This sentence is dizzying.
Now, if they want to put their articles out for free on the internet (AKA "maximize public access") rather than behind a scholarly journal pay wall (AKA "fortune," albeit not much of it), I wish them well.
