I used to think I could only write in the morning because that was when I was freshest. There aren’t many published authors who sell significant numbers of books who do not make sure they obtain some kind of editorial oversight. My editing process it to run it through two different spell checker, send it to alpha readers, send it to good proofreader for two passes, send it to beta readers and then to the ARC team. You are saying if an author expects to become a $100k author then he/she needs a quality editor (which according to you will be $2,500). For a non-fiction book I’m looking for media hooks – is there a special date this book would launch on or is it a particularly timely idea? social media advertising, all the while bringing out the messages of the book. yet. Authors that consistently earn millions are prolific writers. Initially, I decide this through analysing the current market and trends, and where I see the proposal sitting within this. But just like “no REAL author self publishes” stopped a few people, this sort of price inflation nonsense will stop some as well.If you make it seem like anybody who goes indie is going to have to spend over $5,000 to get their book out there (and obviously if you’re allotting $2,500 for the editing alone, $5k is probably “frugal”), then it scares people off. And if you think trainers and coaches don’t matter, take a look at how much those people get paid. Having said that, I have edited books for a writing partner, and I know heavy line/content edits are hard, time-consuming work that deserves to be rewarded appropriately. Sometimes.

We help the meeting understand the audience (who the book is for), positioning (the hook of the book and what will capture imaginations or help set it apart) and platform (market trends and demand or the individual’s profile).
Meanwhile there are readers out there who would have loved that book if you’d just had the courage to publish it with whatever skills and resources you had available.Indies, don’t listen to this crap. There’s a large difference between deciding to write a book that you want to write, knowing that your efforts might not be rewarded, and working for somebody else. Thank you, Adrienne Montgomerie, C.S. Indie authors aren’t willing to pay your prices. Thank you.Hi, I guess I would be considered an EA? Beyond that, there are no absolutes.I had no idea there were so many successful, I mean really successful six figure indie authors out there. Some are open about the dollar amounts, which is very helpful to newbies who don’t have any idea what is fair under various circumstances. I found the info useful. As in publicity, there are many different avenues to go down to promote a book, so a marketer’s job is varied: from helping develop an author’s social media profile to designing proofs of books to send out to influencers and media to build a buzz around the book ahead of publication.The difference between publicity and marketing is that the marketing strategy is dependent on how big budget marketers have to spend. Or maybe it’s just that the successful ones read this blog?A cursory Google search, however, leaves me to believe there is some disconnect, that would be between what people are saying in the comments here and reality.The website Pay Scale has the average Canadian author making $40,866 annually.
