[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jen probably got something like a 70k advance for Awake as she’s an “established” writer and was signed to a new publishing house.  Now She spent a lot marketing the book online that also includes hiring a traveling media team.  I estimate that her week 1 sales are between 30,000 to 35,000.  Grossing at the top maybe 700K.  She’ll make back before her dance 15% of that so she probably cleared her advance and will make a little money.  Not ground breaking money by any stretch but Now I Can Do MeCamp 2026 kind of money…[/quote]

🤣🤣🤣 you guys I’m no Jen hatmaker fan, but her advance would have been above $300,000.

I personally know a poetry prof who received a $60,000 advance from Hatchette for a memoir in 2015. This is a completely unknown person with no socials etc. An advance is what an author gets paid based on how much money the publisher expects to earn off the book. Expectations around book sales for a book like Awake are huge (think in terms of Glennon’s “untamed”)[/quote]
