Sure, Disney acts as a publisher, but I think it would be naive to think that they don’t direct the content of those books. Likewise, I imagine they use a lot of Disney outsiders for their movies as well as part of the production process. At the end of the day, it doesn’t exactly matter whether it’s Disney staffers doing the writing or someone on the outside, it’s being published under the Disney brand.
The question is: did Disney commission the Percy Jackson series or did Rick Riordan shop around for publishers like a traditional book author and happen to get picked up by Disney?

Yeah, idk. I’m guessing it’s one of those cases where he started solo, then Disney noticed and paid him to publish w/ them.
