I just got an offer from a big publisher, who is offering me a deal for my 70K fantasy YA book. He said he'd give me an advance of $2500, with 9% royalties.
He's only putting it out in paperback.
The deal was negotiated by my wonderful agent.
Considering that I spent 2 years writing and editing this MS, I really expected somewhere in the $5000-$10 000 advance range. I'm aware that most writers don't earn much from royalties, so no expectations there.
BTW, I've been following the threads here for the last 3 yrs, but only felt the need to register and post today.
