I won't publish the ask (they asked me not to), but I thought I'd still answer it publicly!

no, royalties are not a significant source of income for most authors. if you wrote something like Project Hail Mary, then absolutely, the royalties would be substantial! but that's like winning the lottery. Ryan Gosling is not starring in the movie adaption of most books.

when you sell a book to a publisher, you get what's called 'an advance against royalties'. it's usually split into multiple parts, so you might get one third for the initial sale, one third for the final revised manuscript, and one third on the publishing date.

an advance against royalties is the publisher saying "we believe you will eventually make X amount in royalties, so here it is ahead of time." and then you don't actually see any money from royalties until the advance is paid off. most books do not make enough in royalties to pay off the advance (I have two children's books and one fiction book, and have yet to see royalties for any of them).

advances are still great, but you need to make them stretch! for instance, last year my net income was about 30k Canadian (21k USD), which is fantastic when you consider that I mostly made it through writing. but I'm definitely not a millionaire. I can live off my writing (not trying to undersell that!) but I'll probably remain in a low income bracket for the foreseeable future.

this isn't meant to discourage anyone from seeking out writing as a career! however, there is a reason that many authors have alternate jobs with writing on the side. or, you know, rich spouses.

Two fantastic hazard signs I found while wandering in Fallout 4!

shes... shes drinking the condensation water from her shedding snauna

this is a choice!

baby Alfredo's eyes have begun to blue, so a new baby snauna has been prepared for her comfort. She still fully bodily fits into her water dish on the other side of her enclosure should she prefer a bath and not a snauna pre-shed, but shes got options

Someday I'm going to have to learn how to actually do my job.

foamcraft-armory

I'll do it if you do my job

derinthescarletpescatarian

#all you have to do today is build a lifesize human skull out of foam and glue an octopus to a flintlock pistol

Someday I'm going to have to learn how to actually do your job

foamcraft-armory

You also have to build the flintlock pistol. I should have mentioned that

derinthescarletpescatarian

Fine I'll learn my job (marketing a damn web serial) instead.

derinthescarletpescatarian

Everyone read my stuff.

Help pay my mortgage if you want to read my stuff faster.

princessparadoxical

I love the implication that the web serial is the only thing keeping you from getting into American Revolutionary War firearms 🤣

derinthescarletpescatarian

Gotta keep the hands busy on something

The entire point of, OK, my phone really wants to call it Anastasia so I guess we’re doing that? The entire point of Anastasia (as administered by a board-certified Anastasiologist) during sugary. Sugary? Haven’t I suffered enough? The entire point of Anastasia during augury. Jesus Christ. Hold up. You know what, augury is preferable to sugary. Augury is obviously performed by an auger (makes sense if you give it a think) whereas sugary is performed by…? A sugardaddy? NO THANK YOU. Anyway. The entire point of Anastasia is so that you don’t know what music your sturgeon. Fuck right off. Was playing. While you were under. You’re not supposed to wake up from Anastasia and immediately realize you managed to get earwormed by Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” during your sugary.

And also since she seems to be from Ireland even though I don't even know shit about eu laws from what little I do know this is a big violation of GDPR and should be reported as such!! https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/rights-citizens/redress/what-should-i-do-if-i-think-my-personal-data-protection-rights-havent-been-respected_en
