[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is almost *never* about the writer becoming rich. It's about paper, printing, binding, and shipping. Inflexible costs. Recently f--ed even further by Trump's dumb tariffs. Also: do you really think content should be free? Do you have any idea of how long it takes to compose and edit a decent book that isn't a piece of self-published trash?[/quote] Actually its about the publisher becoming rich. They take 85% of the profits to pay for their New York offices and six-figure salaries for everyone. When Fifty Shades of Grey went big, everyone at the publishing house got a $5,000 bonus.[/quote]
