But but but...Richard Castle (from the TV show Castle lives in a penthouse in New York and has so much money he can't spend it all...and he only writes one book a year. Obviously all writers make crazy amounts of money that I can only dream of
(sarcasm off)
Seriously, thanks for writing this. I keep telling people that authors don't make as much as you would think.
I remember back when I was in High School I worked in the library that an author used occasionally. When I found out who she was I mentioned how much I was looking forward to reading her next book but that I had to wait for the paperback. Her response was something like "that's okay I don't need the $0.25 I'd get if you bought the hardback." That has always stuck with me as an idea of what how much money authors are NOT making
