How much does Mr. Clevinger (spelling?) get per book?

[The Wandering God]

Greetings all

I was wondering how much of each book actually makes it back to the author. I can't get it yet. :mad: I have to wait until I have more money. But I'd feel better putting down the money knowing most of it went to THE MAN!
Robots: THE MAN!
But I'm a lowlife so I have to call him Brian. Speaking of which, if the esteemed creator of the most awesome of online comics should read this, why don't you have guest stars from other games? I think it would be rad. But you probably get 1,032,0303,339.35 suggestions a day. So I'll be fine if you can't/won't do it.
Either way, you rock!
Thank you for your time.

i think the author of any book gets a one time payment for writing the book. then after the book sells a thousand copies let's say, he gets another fee. and so on and so forth.

That's a good point about page count. Indie publishing large books like this is going to be expensive. Just look at mine. And traditional publishers tend to shy away from anything more than 200 - 300 pages from first timers (one of the many nails in my coffins). Just something to consider.

As for my payment, I get a percentage royalty on every sale. I actually forget how much that is and I see nowhere on iUniverse that reports this to me. They have a section that'll list your total sales and what you're owed, and everything, but the fourth quarter sales (beginning Oct 1st, which was the day I put up the first link to NA at Amazon) don't show up in that until mid- to late December. And then I don't get paid until the end of the next quarter anyway, which is in March '05.

I asked him awhile ago.
