How much does the average author earn publishing their book?
A traditionally published author makes 5–20\% royalties on print books, usually 25\% on ebooks (though can be less), and 10–25\% on audiobooks.
Can a book be published in more than one place?
A book can also be published by more than one publisher at the same time, generally for different countries. Where there are substantial parts of the book that are non-text, colour prints, for example, the costs can be shared and printing costs saved.

Can a book be republished?
No matter which self-publishing service you use, it is possible to republish a book many times over. All you need to do is modify and update your Word file or book cover and then upload them to your publishing platform. Any changes you make will be republished, usually within 24 hours.
Does writing more books make you more likely to sell?
With that being said, I guess it turns out I thought it was actually worth saying after all. In general, the more books you write and publish the more books you’re going to sell. This is especially true for an unknown self-published author.
Should you self-publish your book?
This option, which would have not been practical two decades ago, has become feasible thanks to self publishing and the rise of digital books. Self-published authors typically earn higher royalties, plus incur no costs when an ebook is sold. Second, authors’ generosity is often reciprocated by a myriad of benefits.
How many books should you publish each year?
On average, traditional authors will tell you they publish 1 to 2 books every 3 to 5 years. There is no doubt, that pressure is being put on them by self-published authors willing to crank out more titles every single year.
Do authors need to promote their own books?
Most writers will need to work hard at promoting their own books in order to be successful. Authors may be required to do more promoting than the in-house book marketing and publicity staff. Most marketing staffs are working on several books simultaneously.
