You think she has a prayer of earning out that advance? For that matter--two books, payments split among delivery / acceptance / publication / paperback, likely an agent taking a cut, Mass. income tax--likely seeing around 100k/yr even if they don't kill 2nd bk for bad sales.

The advance is yours to keep. Even if she doesn't earn it out ... SEVEN FIGURES. And, yeah, let's imagine book 2 gets killed - I bet she still gets $500k - $1M. Deduct 20% agent and 5% MA, that's still $375k - $750k.

BigPub breaks advances into pieces based on milestones. So when she turns in the story collection, $125k, minus agent, MA, etc. Another chunk that size when the editor approves, then when book published, then on paperback edition. Repeat for 2nd book, if the first sold well.
