Authorial end

What is the meaning of "end" here?

On the authorial end, authors are considerably spread thin between writing, distribution
networks, and social networks for their promotions.

It seems to me that a spectrum of participants is being envisaged, with authors at one "end", and possibly readers at the other "end". " At the authorial end" seems better to me though. Also, the phrase "considerably spread thin" is not quite right.
