Making money as a writer

If you’ve written and submitted a manuscript for publication, you’re probably wondering what happens once you get a contract from the publisher, i.e., how will you get paid? You’ve heard talk about advances, royalties, flat fees, etc., etc. Wonder no more. In a brief, concise article on the Writer Unboxed blog, written by Chuck Sambuchino, “11 frequently-asked-questions-about-book-royalties-advances-and-making-money,” he addresses this topic including foreign rights and film rights. Very interesting article.
