Alan Joyce writing a memoir

[Quickstatus]

I suspect AJ would have been paid an advance by the publisher to secure the book.
Then royalties are used to pay out the advance. The writer can only get royalties if the advance is paid out.
If the book is a flop the publisher wears the cost.

I think I will wait to read the "enhanced" edition.

I think I will wait to read the "enhanced" edition.

Or the “Simpler & Fairer” (TM) edition?

I’m not so sure if he ever intended to make much cash from the book, or anything at all. Definitely is all about having the country talking about him again, and sending a message to would be boards that’s he is some sort of messiah, oh, and can someone please hire me again.

Can’t see too many prominent CEO vacancies available in the transport industry at the moment, seems like the type of person that wants a board to push someone out for him to come in. I still think some boards simply don’t want the attention he comes with. If he rolled up at my top ASX I’d probably start looking for another job as I know what his first move would be, slash slash slash.
