Royalties from Writing and Publishing Books

[ronron77]

Hi, does anyone here have an idea how much would you actually earn from having your book published? Thanks so much.

ang alam ko bro, based on book sales volume yan, pero it can be paid in advance based on your agreement with the publisher.

It depends, you can either be paid in lump sum (with no royalties) or royalties (usually perpetual or a specific lenght of time depending on the contract but lower upfront payment).

Writers who think their piece will become a hit often go for royalties since their income will dramatically expand when the book hits the charts.

New writers who aren't that confident often go for lump sum.
