Barbara Kingsolver’s writing routine  #writingtips #amwriting
Try to let go of the idea that your first book has to be perfect, or that it has to be the one that launches your career & makes you a best-selling author. That is a LOT of unnecessary pressure to put on yourself! Many authors write several books before publishing their first one.  In some cases, it may even be beneficial to get more writing experience under your belt before publishing your first book—by your second or third novel, you’ll have grown so much as an author & honed your craft to write even stronger, more compelling stories.  Of course, it’s also possible that this first novel WILL be the first you publish, & it could end up being a big hit. The point is, try to keep an open mind & loosen any pressure you might be putting on yourself and your book.  If this project doesn’t end up being the first book you publish, or if it doesn’t ever get published, that’s okay. Trust that you are learning so much as you complete this first book, & that this work is necessary to get you where you ultimately want to go in your career—whether this book ultimately gets published first or not. ❤️ #writingtok #BookTok #writingcommunity #amwriting #firsttimeauthor #amquerying #publishingtips #publishingabook

Getting a book deal with a major publishing house is many writers’ ultimate dream. But how does a book deal work? While the details of your contract may vary, book deals with traditional publishers tend to be structured in more or less the same way. Here's a quick breakdown of the standard financial components of the book deal, so you'll know exactly what to expect going into this exciting step: 1️⃣The advance: This is a sum that the publisher pays to the author upfront against any future royalties the book will earn. It is typically paid in multiple installments. For ex: If your advance is $40k, the terms of your contract might say that you’ll receive $10k upon signing, $10k upon acceptance of the manuscript, $10k upon publication, and $10k one year after publication. 2️⃣Royalties: Royalties are the percentage of the book's retail sales that go back to the author. These rates are graduated based on the number of copies sold. For ex: an author may earn 10% on the first 5k copies sold, 12.5% for the next 5k copies sold, and after that 15%. Initially, royalties go toward paying back the advance. This means you won’t receive royalty payments until (& unless) you "earn out" your advance, which means the royalty amount exceeds the advance you were already paid. 3️⃣Agent commission: Finally, in traditional publishing, you will typically have an agent who will negotiate the book deal with the publisher. They'll receive a 15% commission on both your advance & your royalties, if you earn any. Of course, you retain the other 85%, and you couldn't have gotten the book deal without your agent, so hopefully that 15% commission isn't a dealbreaker!
