How Do Authors Make Money?

from PLOT TWIST

Soman and Victoria discuss the nuances of supporting yourself as an artist — and how to structure your advances and royalties to work for you. They also reveal what makes an idea “flawed at conception” and whether they get control over their book covers. Soman has a billion dollar business idea (think monkeys!) and Victoria is contemplating writing on a walking pad.Theme of the Week (05:50)Goals of the Week (15:10)Industry Nonsense (27:56) Reader Mailbag (47:28Plot Twists in Real Life (54:02)Pup Twist (56:51) Hosted on Acast.
