How to make sure more of your book money goes to authors.
That was an interesting read, thank you!
Looks like amazon ebooks are commonly the best=paying way.
You're welcome :) And for people who want to support local independent bookstores, I'll drop in a plug for bookshop.org .
Another great site.
The biggest difference in book quality, IMHO, is a good editor. I honestly think I'd feel it would be fair if the editor and the author split the profit pretty evenly; maybe 60/40. I'm not an author, but I've read plenty of books which clearly did not have one (or had a terrible one), and they're painful. Editors are the unsung heroes of the publishing industry.
