    Ooooh, #PublishingPaidMe advances. Okay. For novels, and to the best of my recollection: $6.5k (x2) $2k $13.5k $25k (x2) $35k $115k $100k (x3) Then comes The Deal (13 books, $3.4M) Most 1/3 at signing, 1/3 at D/A, 1/3 at pub (The Deal breaks up pub for HC/PB). Plus royalties.

        Does the (x?) part mean for multiple books the advance was the same?

        For those who need the same hand w math as I do, The Deal averages out to a little north of a quarter mil per ms (I mean I say “a little” but that’s if you consider $10k not to be much money, which I guess depends.)

        I don't know how long a book takes Mr. Scalzi, but if it's a year or so... that seems like a very reasonable compensation for someone who's doing very well in a competitive profession.

        For the deal that's just the advance, correct? You still get royalties? Also, Head On series needs to be optioned for film. Its refreshing, original, and has a Black protagonist. I'm here for it.
