NYT Bestseller Reality

Everyone dreams of making the NYT Bestseller list. They think that once they make the list, they are all millionaires. However, one writer was kind enough to share the truth behind her royalty income and the actual dollar value of her earnings for Twilight Fall of the Darkyn Series. Please check out The Reality of a Times Bestseller. It holds a wealth of information for budding writers and those in the midlist hoping to make it on the NYT Bestseller.

Thank you to the author for posting this informative and honest look inside the publishing world!

In the News: Anatomy of a Book Advance

About that Book Advance... is an informative New York Times article regarding the nature of advances in the publishing world. Though the examples cited relate more to literary and perhaps commercial fiction (less to the genre world), the information provided is invaluable to those curious about the inner workings of the industry.
