Author C has the most control over the publishing process and is likely to continue self-publishing, leading to the possibility of publishing multiple books. Authors A and B are dependent on traditional publishers and may not have the opportunity to publish multiple books. Although they have different royalty structures, it is not directly related to the likelihood of publishing multiple books.
