Well you're talking about publishers. But what author can afford to write for months on end, if they only sell 1k copies at £5 each? (I don't know what percentage of that actually reaches the author after publishing)
- TacticalCoder 6y agoIt depends on the publisher but 7% to 9% is common. So for authors selling "only" 5 K copies the only way to survive is to self-publish. Now of course when you self-publish you have to find a way to reach your audience.
- ChrisRR 6y agoDoes that include manufacturing costs? As in, does the author take home 91% of the sale price after taxes?
