Re: Not OP but an author

[viv_vivillon]

That's an average pulled from all publishers including small time ones so it skews low. The actual OP who is actually getting published by one of the top "Big Six" publishers would be more able to answer that question accurately.

If you want to make real money publishing and actually earn out your advance then a big six publisher is still the most viable option for that. And it's not true that publishers won't invest in new authors. They spend a huge amount on things that are invisible to the public but get books into bookshops, Publishers Weekly, etc. Yes, some self-publishers do earn a lot but most self-publishers sell in the low double digits.

Here is a thread about how trade publishing works for new authors:
