“Did My Bestselling Book Turn Out to Be a Financial Failure? - Forte Labs”

> we’ve spent $1.13 million dollars ($570,000 on staff costs plus $560,000 on everything else) on its creation and promotion so far
I admit that I'm predisposed to be annoyed at Forte Labs but this? I don't even know what to say. Spending a million bucks on making a book? Compounded by a bunch of hairbrained business decisions? That they still almost broke even? All just...
Annoying.
