My bad, sorry.
However: We all know that creators don't get the whole money you pay for some works. If I would want to support a creator I would try to find a way to support directly.
In other words I find it a bad idea to buy a book as a way to donate.
- devilbunny 3y agoBuying a book does much more for an author who isn't already famous than just giving them money does. It raises their visibility, making it more likely that publishers will bite on a second book by them. It also pays the editors, typesetters, etc. - the author isn't the only creative person involved, and every heavy reader can think of examples of authors who have good ideas but desperately need an editor.
