The thing is that what professional authors working with legitimate publishers make from a book has nothing to do with the demanded funds to complete the project. It should be only based on the value delivered by the project.
- dudul 11y agoNot really sure what this comment is trying to demonstrate. Using what actual published authors make on book deals is a good way to estimate what the value of such an initiative should be. Maybe a lot of people will be interested in the project and fund it, then great. But publishers investigate the market thoroughly before signing a deal with an author, and they offer advances and royalties based on what they think the book will make. When an author received a $7,500 royalties advance on a book it's because the publisher thinks this is a good indicator of what the book will generate in royalties.
