Author Financials

Have you ever wondered how much authors actually make writing books? While it varies, wildly, on experience, genre, marketing ability, quality of work, and number of published books, I can answer definitively for one person - me.

​

I don't open the financial doors for everyone, but I wanted to share my journey with you, my loyal subscribers. I think that the information might surprise you. Some of you will wonder why in the hell I would continue to work and work at something that, after nearly 15 years, still hasn't shown me a tangible financial profit. Others may find yourself in my shoes, looking out (which is, if I am to be honest, my main reason for doing this - with understanding, compassion often follows) and understanding the struggles of a writer better. 

​

I'm also doing this for me. A summary, if you will, of where I've been, where I'm going, and hopefully some lessons learned along the way. I'm a writer, I'm hopeless at working in an office for someone else, and aside from managing my short-term rentals, and marching my little family about on various projects and more, I'm kind of hopeless for anything else.
