I know people into 6 figures still living in apts. If you're still working you don't have security. If you're doing contract work you have even less. Contractors are paid to perform a specific task only. There's no grooming you nor giving you raises or better assignments, you're basically stuck doing the same thing with no chance for advancement unless you change jobs - but since you din't learn anything new in your last gig you're slowly heading towards obsolescence.

this is what bothers me. normal people don't call wendys a restaurant, they call it a fast food joint or something else distinct, because "restaurant" has certain connotations. there's no word for whatever the chef at a fast food shithole is, and chef is probably technically the correct term (especially since your job title can be whatever the fuck they make it be) but we need a different word.

i propose "shef" because it's a 50/50 split between "chef" and "shit".

Idk i work for one of the top 4 houses and we don't take submissions from people without representation. That old stereotype of the kid with the pile of manuscripts is pretty much dead.

I do write quite a bit and if i had something I wanted to pursue seriously getting an agent on board would be step 1 for me.

I really do think that if you're trying to get a book published unsolicited (as in you're not some internet columnist whose been approached) then this is the way to go.

Thats what i'd tell someone inactually thought was talented and who wanted help.

I meant to say 5. Used to be the top 6, but like every other industry people keep buying people. Now i think its:

1)Simon and Shuster
2) HarperCollins
3)Macmillan
4)Penguin -Random House
5) Hachette Books

But publishing is kind of like the music industry in that they all have smaller imprints that specialize in certain areas.

So like while like Nikki Minaj may technically work for Universal its way more hip for her to rap about how she "reps young money". Young Money of course being a label owned by Universal.

So like while Obama's post-presidency book is all set to be published by "Crown"; Crown is actually a subiaidary of Penguin-Random House.

So it can get confusing.


There are many smaller presses, but they aquire for much lower advances and have much less market penetration

Two questions:

1) What is a typical advance at one of these houses?

2) Do any of them have imprints which specialize in genre fiction? (Action-adventure, horror, etc.}

1) advances are all over the place. I've seen advances upwards of 6 Million and advances of only 5 thousand.

And theres different ways contracts can be drawn up. Like for instance, if they think you might be a big deal you could get a 100k contract for 2 books. So 50k a book.

Another house might offer you 60k for one book.

You get more for the second offer, but if your first book bombs theres no way you're getting 50k for number two.

On the flip side if your first book winds up being the next "50 Shades of Grey" (highly unlikely); then you just wound up giving up the second book for 50k when you could have made over a million.

For a first time author? If your like an established journalist with a nonfiction piece you might get 50k. If your Obamas secret service agent with a tell-all you might get five times that.

If your an unknown shitkicker with no established audience and following they can build on publishing a fiction piece?

You might get like 5-10k

It really all depends on how marketable the subject is.

Also i'm sort of skewing these descriptions in favor of fiction because thats what i assume most young unpublished writers are doing.

Dont underestimate how much of the industry is memoirs and cookbooks and such by already well-known names.

Also yeah, specialization is partially the point of splitting up authors between different imprints.

Like if you have social media marketing person really good at marketing fabio-laden romance to old ladies then that person might not be great at marketing a childrens book.

I guess the best way would be to look at titles comprable to yours and to see who put them out.

But again, if you had representation the agent would know who to go to based on your piece.

Also, its going to be about choosing from a small selection of publishers who are interested.

Even having an established agent, only so many publishers will choose to bid. One house only really needs one teen vampire novel at a time, even if you've written the War and Peace of teen angst.

Another question:

In today's world of twitter and limited attention spans, is the book industry doing very well? I read some stats which said that only 3/10 books published break even, and only 1/10 makes a decent profit.

In other words, is it all that possible to make a decent living at writing these days?

Oh yeah, industry wide gross sales are as good as they've ever been. But writers have always had day jobs. I think TS Elliot sold insurance. William Faulkner, even at the height of his career still wrote for hollywood.

So even if were selling what we were in the 50's...nobody wrote novels to get rich in the 50's either.

Even when ebooks took off, it didn't really cannibilize print sales, it just got more people reading and drove total sales up.

I just told you; i routinely sign off on advances upward of 1Million.

I just spun a hypothetical author whose gonna get 10k for a fiction title. Ok. Its fiction; its a tough sell; its more likely to lose the house money than to make us money.

But if gross profit is positive and we make our money back and then some? Book 2 is gonna go for more and so on and so forth.

But this is very rare because frankly its so incredibly rare to get published to begin with.

Also look at the market; crime novels are big, romance is big. I have no interest in either of these.

Nonfiction is big but personally I haven't got a Phd in History and a research staff at a university to let me be the next David McCullough. Idk about you.

But if you're like....making 80k a year as a web developer and get to tell people you're a published novelist even though you only picked up 10k for it? Would that be so bad?

Its possible to make what we'll call a middle class salary as a writer but it takes a long time. I personally wouldn't want sit around making less then minimum wage until im in my forties.

Is it really stressful working on commission?

Sometimes i think about a sales role in my industry but theres always so many people saying how easy it is to get into sales; but when you're like 35 it's awful hard to get out if it suddenly doesen't suit you.

Then again, maybe you've got an engineering background
