It's already started although there aren't many examples yet. Bella Andre got seven figures from Harlequin (for her 8? book series) and retained her ebooks rights. They're paying her a boatload of money and are doing the part that traditional publishers still do best, distributing and marketing print books. There have been others, but she's the one who comes to mind. IIRC Hugh Howey did something somewhat similar with Wool.

The very best authors in my experience are those who recognize and understand the role of an editor and choose to work with the editor rather than against the editor. Ultimately decisions belong to the author, not the editor, but a good editor can often offer insights from a reader's perspective that an author may have missed. |
