What is the best way to compensate you for this wonderful book I stumbled upon here? I do not know how much authors actually get for books after the initial printings.
- cstross 4y agoBuy a paper copy of it and give it to a friend who hasn't read it? Or buy one of my other books that you haven't read yet. (The keyword here is "buy". I get a percentage of the cover price. Hardcovers or ebooks pay a higher proportion of the net receipts than paperbacks. And smaller bookshops pay better than Amazon or Barnes & Noble, both of whom arm-wrestle publishers for huge wholesale discounts.)
