Copyleft does not forbid making money. It is perfectly legal to sell a GPL product. Also, with a novel on paper, you generally have similar rights as the GPL grants on software, such as reselling it, making modifications (I can just write on the paper!) and that sort of thing. While scanning and distributing copies is not allowed, quite some GPL companies also crack down on this by simply not providing updates anymore (I believe this approach is taken by the Linux grsec patchset developers).
