I can't figure out how this guy ever wrote his first books. I guess low barrier to entry to write books. Were they successful at all before the TV show?
Oh, interesting. I hadn't followed the theory, just heard it briefly, so didn't realize all the players involved. So, basically, "assistants" to George RR Martin went on to be established and successful writers, while Martin can't seem to produce a single book for years. Yeah, I see why people might be a tad suspicious.

Oh, it gets worse. Martin published A Dance With Dragons July 12, 2011, and the first book in The Expanse series was published in June of that year. Since that point, Abraham and Franck (the guys writing The Expanse) have published 8 more novels and 10 short novels in the series. Martin has published one prequel novel and three prequel novellas, and no further books in the ASOIaF series.
Oh, and The Expanse began, completed, and finished the TV series in the same time period.

Conspiracy theories say he didn't. He had help from, I think the theory is his assistant...who then left. Which is why he's struggling so hard.
The assistant[s] being the one[s] who then wrote The Expanse.
