No, not your shoe size. I'm asking about how many people it takes to get one of your books from concept to finish. What's your business footprint?
I suppose we could also include special resources in there. Hardware, specialized software programs, etc.
For me, it takes a team of about seven people. Me as the author, of course. The cover artist doing his thing. Then four beta readers, on average, and finally the editor.
The artist has his tools and whatnot but I don't care about those. I pay his fee, he takes care of his tools, everyone's happy. The editor gets paid as well. The beta readers are volunteers.
I don't really require any specialized hardware software. I've got a decent computer with an internet connection and Openoffice. I did take the time to set up a template so I don't have to rewrite anything to convert the finished document into a .mobi file, but that's about all.
What's your setup? How many people in your A-team?
