[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not talking about self-publishing - I mean a legit agent and a big 5 publishing house.[/quote] Well. Look at it this way; l[b]iterary agents get 20%[/b] so unless you have a track record of some kind. 20% of an unknown and untested author 's first book is, essentially, 20© of morning. If you have a juicy political sex scandal story then you can probably find agent. Good luck. [/quote] Author here. Curious about this. I've been published for many years, so maybe things have changed. But my agent gets 15%. Foreign, film, etc. bring the total up to 20%.[/quote]
