How much can I get paid for publishing a book?

The low is several thousand yuan, the average is tens of thousands, the high is hundreds of thousands, or even nearly one million. At present, publishing houses have two ways of paying writers' royalties:

The first is to pay royalties. Since the royalties were adjusted last year, royalties are generally 40 to 150 yuan per thousand words. Of course, some newspapers and magazines sometimes charge 200 to 300 yuan for 1,000 words in order to book manuscripts from famous writers. The magazine with the highest remuneration may be "Zhiyin", which can charge 1,000 yuan for 1,000 words. Another way is to pay royalties, and the standard is 8% to 10%, that is, the money the author gets is royalties based on the number of prints.

Therefore, in the mainland romance industry, an 80,000-word novel only sells for around 2,000.
