[![](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/61lrCdT5rGL._BO2204203200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-clickTopRight35-76_AA278_PIkin4BottomRight-6622_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg)](http://www.amazon.com/Wool-Omnibus-Edition-Silo-ebook/dp/B0071XO8RA/)Hugh Howey, author of the Wool series, was the feature of a [very good article on Wall Street Journal](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324678604578340752088305668.html) over the weekend.  The article is about how independent authors are changing the publishing industry.  In particular it is about how Howey was able to make more than $1 million dollars on his Wool series even before the first print edition was released.

Now Howey has a publishing deal where he retains the ebook rights and has also sold the rights to make a movie to Ridley Scott.
