How Much Money Do Authors Make?

How much money do authors make?

With the number of author and reader friends I have, I thought a quick snapshot of how much money author’s make would be fun and enlightening.

The attached chart breaks down four types of author: aspiring; self-published; traditionally published; and hybrid (self-published and traditionally-published by design).

This chart is based on Dana Beth Weinberg’s of responses from five thousand authors to the Digital Book World and Writer’s Digest Author Survey. To read her comments on the data click here.
