Too low? I'd say probably close to 10x too high. I'm pretty sure the folks churning out a lot of westerns that could be considered "50 Shades for men" were paid $500-5000 per book.
- vidarh 10y agoYou're probably right. It took ~2min to find someone on Twitter that charges ~$1300 for a 40,000 work book. I'm sure you can do cheaper. The thing is, you can churn out books like that in less than a month [1] if you follow a formula and write fast, and given there are plenty of people in low income countries that can write perfectly fine English, if you don't care much about quality you can certainly get hold of a bunch of mediocre westerns without paying a lot. [1] E.g. Louis Masterson / Kjell Hallbing is an example. When he started the Morgan Kane series, he churned out a book a month. The initial series was of 83 books, and he's written more than a 100 westerns overall.
