I don't think so. Publishers have a whole different mindset, and sometimes I think they are actually aliens. Publishers don't tell authors ANYTHING, and they couch their contracts in such convoluted legalese that most authors give up understanding it and just sign it. Then they're left with knowing almost nothing about what's actually IN the contract they signed.

Stephen King is no different here - sure, he makes them tons of money, but he still probably gets no say in their decisions.
