If Musicians Make Good Money From Merch, Why Can��t Authors?

I recently learned that Musicians make a lot of money from their Merch, and it got me to wondering if Authors could/would do the same. And I thought it would make for a great topic for discussion. I did a Google Search, and I discovered I’m not the only one thinking it’s a great idea. Susan Spann thinks it’s a great idea as well: 

Merchandising Rights in Publishing Deals

 . . . And . . . 

Protecting Your Merchandising Rights in a Publishing Deal

-

And so does Jessica McCann:

Boost Your Writing Income with Themed Merchandise

It seems like maybe Authors should keep their merchandise rights, or at least work out a joint deal that allows the Author to create and sell their own Merch. *Shrugs* Let’s at least get the discussion on the table, and see what can come of it. Thoughts?
