I am really sorry for asking this. Some people may look upon me as a money-greedy guy but it is not so. I love writing and I spent 9 months, planning my first fantasy novel and I have just started to write it. I love writing.
I have my university studies to balance as well so progress won't be too fast. But I was really interested in knowing how well writers actually get paid. For a semi-successful novel, how much would you expect to earn? It is difficult to find accurate info on this so I'm posting it here. I am aware that most royalty payments are usually 10 % of the book's price.
Please be honest. This would be real eye-opener for me. I can't wait for the day when my novel sits on a bookstore shelf, but I can't help wondering if I'll have any significant financial benefits.
Thank You!!!
