Libraries: Public and school libraries that purchase books directly from the publisher or wholesaler (e.g., Baker & Taylor). Authors make: Royalties on cover price of LIBRARY's purchase. Authors do NOT make royalties when the book is checked out. Sales: Varies from library to library based on library budgets. Benefit to author: Readers might discover an author in the library and then buy that author's books new. If books are popular, libraries will buy more copies of the author's next book.
Advance Ranges. Publishers pay authors advances that range from as little as $1,000 to amounts in the high six figures for fiction and non-fiction. But a drop in overall book sales and the impact of lower priced e-books has reduced the amounts of advances publishers pay out.he typical royalty an author receives, according to the Wall Street Journal, is 15 percent of the retail price for a hardcover, and 25 percent for an e-book. But the prices for e-books are less than half the retail price for a hardcover, reducing the cash payment to the author.
