   I spent a while trying to determine if any big name SF authors   
   got their start at Baen after Jim Baen died, and as far as I   
   can tell, the answer is no.   
      
   I _thought_ Larry Correia might be one but he was self-published   
   before moving to Baen. Likewise, every other possibility turned   
   to either have started outside Baen or inside Baen but before   
   2006. Almost 20 years is a hell of a run without discovering at   
   least one new superstar.   
      
   Did I miss someone?   
      
   This could be the logical outcome of the Del Monte approach to SFF.
