Book Writing Torrent Mac OS X FromIt seems like publishers are pretty desperate for authors these days, probably because it pays so much better to simply develop software than to write about it. How many copies of the book can I expect to sell?Is it difficult to get a deal to write a book?In short, no. Will I have to pay back any of the advance if sales are slow? ![]() They take a percentage of your payment for the trouble, something like 10-15%. They can try to find you a publisher for an idea you have, and can guide you a bit in the process. The advantage of an agent is that they do a lot of the legwork for you. I got the gig writing Beginning Mac OS X Programming via an agent, Studio B. Do I need an agent?If you write articles online, chances are you will be approached by agents. Publishers will often use agents to pair up projects with authors, so this is another good reason to have an agent. So even if you don’t know what to write about, a publisher may already have a project suited to you. Often, publishers will already have ideas in mind for book titles, and will seek authors to write them. Best to try to choose a publisher that you think will be suited to the book you want to write. How do I get a deal?Either sign up with an agent, and get them on the case, or email publishers directly. After that, a technical expert checks the content and requests corrections, but these usually don’t take much more than an hour per chapter per draft. I wrote my part in around 3 months in my spare time, getting up before the sun to do 2-3 hours writing per day. That sounds like a lot, but source code and screen shots really do fill up a book fast. The book is around 700 pages long. To give you some idea, I co-authored Beginning Mac OS X Programming, writing around half of the book. In my experience, the publishers have a pretty good handle on how much they will sell, and the advance is probably very closely matched to the royalties expected for all sales. The advance is like a loan against the royalties the publisher expects you to receive from sales of the book. For a first author, this is usually something in the range $5000-10000. So if your book costs $40 in Borders, the publisher gets $20, and you get $2 a copy! Will I have to pay back any of the advance if sales are slow?In general, you do not have to pay the advance back, even if you never finish the book, or sales are poor. It’s important to realize that this percentage is not for the retail price, but the wholesale price received by the publisher, which is is around 50% of the retail price. What percentage of royalties will I receive?Royalties tend to be in the range 10-15%, depending on who you are. But this will usually take a few years, because for the first year or two the royalties will go to paying off the advance. Do I get any royalties on top of the advance?If your book sells particularly well, it is possible to accumulate more royalties than the value of your advance, in which case the publisher will pass on these extra royalties to you. Being an author may also look good on a CV, so it may be worth writing a book for these reasons. But there are some other payoffs: If you write a particularly good book, you may gain some prestige in your professional community, or even come to be considered an expert in the field. If you do the math, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out you shouldn’t write a book for the money (unless you are a well-known author). Are there other pay offs?Your advance and any extra royalties are the only monetary pay offs you will receive. In that sense, it is a loan drawn against future earnings, where the risk is for the publisher. What about corporate work?If you actually want to earn money from your writing, books are probably not the way to go. Don’t expect a best seller when you write technical books. In my case, it was around 4000 copies. How many copies of the book can I expect to sell?Unless you are David Pogue, you will probably be surprised by how few copies of your book get printed. Superhuman email for macI think more and more will be published digitally, or simply bypass the publisher altogether.You can now publish your own books very simply via the web site lulu.com, and even sell them on Amazon. What about self-publishing?I can’t help feeling that the days of traditional publishing are numbered. Of course, it may help convince an agent that you are up to corporate work if you have already authored a book. They have editors and technical experts to check your content, will do professional layout and printing, and will take the pain out of creating an index. Even with less sales, you may earn more going this route.If your goal is not money but simply to write the best book you can, and have it widely distributed, then a traditional publisher is probably the way to go.
