The vast majority of tech books sell fewer than 5000 copies.
A typical advance is $4000 - $10,000 (for well known authors), split into several parts.
Royalties vary, 8-15% is standard. Programatic Programmers is much more generous.
$1000 advance is unusually low.
- eneifert 12y agoThanks Matt that is more what I was thinking. There are 40,000+ companies that use Zendesk so estimating less than 5000 copies seems reasonable and I also agree 1000$ advance is unusually low. Thanks for the advice!
