what is the salary of an author or writer who writes a novel?

I'm not sure about the actual salary.  If you're writing for a newspaper column, it depends on the popularity of the newspaper and how popular your particular column is.  For books, I think authors get a cut of the sales and an advance at the start more so than paid a salary.

Go to the library and find a book called the Writers' Market (it's in Reference).  This book lists every magazine & book publisher in the US with important information such as to whom to write a query letter, (which asks if they have interest in your article). It also lists names & addresses of the people you should contact, types of articles usually taken as well as the payment possibilities.  Good luck!

National Novel Writing Month\n\nI believe that this is year 6, but I could be wrong. The point of this is to write a 50,000 word novel in a single month. There are forums on the website that you can visit for ideas, help or encouragement. \n\nThis will be my second year doing NaNoWriMo. Wish me luck!

You could work in any industry.  Copy Editor, Public Relations, Press writer, screenplay writer, story writer, publication, technical manual writer, textbook writer or editor, grant writer.  Basically anything that requires strong written communication skills and a strong command of the formal system.  By the way College Professors have been known to command salaries as high as $250,000.  But the highest paying job someone with an English degree can probably get is writer.  it is slowly become a most art.  I hope this helps.

You are confused.\n\nPublishers publish books already written by writers.\n\nThey don't finance research for future books.\n\nYou have to write your book with your own money and after you are done then you start looking for a publisher to publish it.

I am more than willing to give than receive. I actually "get off" more when I'm giving. I don't necessarily have to receive, especially when he is more than willing.What I don't like is a selfish lover, one who won't give at all. I would love to read your novel. Contact me about it. What else are you interested in for your novel?

This depends what kind of engineers. This can range from 40K annual to over 100K annual depending the field they work in, and the experience they have. For example an IT Eng doesn't makes about 35-40K on entry level, where as an E-Eng makes about 10K more on the same level.

That is kind of a broad statement. If you are doing a book, certainly you have something specific in mind?\n\nFirst of all, are you in the United States or in a different country? Programs and services vary greatly depending on where you live.

You can always combine both, as I do. But it depends on your talent as well. And on the kind of income you want to have.\n\nA journalist writes from day to day, and gets a regular income that way. A writer works months or even years on a book, and only gets paid after the book is sold. And not every writer makes millions. In fact, most don't. But it is still a great line of work, if you have the talent, good ideas and know what you are doing.

No.  How would writers and publishers make any money?  No one is going to pay for a book that they can get for free.

No, I was a technical author for the last 5 years of my working life, so I used to write the stuff, in an office environment, (mainly instrument control systems and operating proceedures) for 8 hours plus per day.\nBut your job really has me intrigued , 'you read technical books to gain skills and then sell the services'??\nIf you get time (from your very busy schedule) perhaps you could drop me a line and tell me what thats all about. I have been retired 3 years and must be well out of touch.\nThe stuff  I wrote was for the of of technicians and plant operators.\nHope to hear from you (I'm not buying)!!
