He's the guy quietly making 7 figures annually in SF all by his lonesome.
He turned down a Scalzi-class contract because it was less than he was already making.
Which is more than enough to fund an entire data center of hundreds of computers to capture and process the Author Earnings data as a public service.

Apparently he's a pretty good SF writer.
Hopefully the movie will do justice to WOOL.

As for Scalzi's much publicized deal...

Works out to be low six figures.
So yeah, Howey is in that class.

And a higher class, too.
A very gracious gent.
Any date on that movie yet?
Yes, Hugh is a good writer.
