Gregory LaPerche | Did Brandon Sanderson Change Publishing? Publishing On Kickstarter! @gregorylaperche5574 | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
What is up everyone! today we will be talking about publishing books and board games on Kickstarter + Brandon Sanderson's announcement. Will this half an effect on publishing? We shall see. I will say that I'm not at all an expert. I'm publishing books, but I am much more knowledgeable about the board game publishing industry over the last 10 years, which has been heavily influenced by Kickstarter.
What do you all think. Will publishing things on Kickstarter be something that is more common on Kickstarter after Sanderson's project? Will future Kickstarter projects be helpful or successful for other authors? What else should I have talked about?

Also, I may have been a bit sloppy when talking about wingspan. clarifications:
1: Wingspan was designed by Elizabeth Hargrave.
2: Wingspan was not published on Kickstarter, but I would argue that Jaime Stegmaier could have published it via Kickstarter if he wanted to, and that led to leverage, which caused traditional distributers to know that they could sell Wingspan at a higher price, as they know there is a market for more experience games with higher component quality. Big distributers like Target likely would not have sold wingspan prior to ~2016 a if it had that high of an MSRP, as they had minimal evidence of a game like this being able to sell.
