How much are writers making from the Kindle sales?

By David Rothman

image Any writers care to share dollar sales stats—-either through direct dealing with Amazon or reports from publishers? Mitzi Szereto, an erotic writer, talks about $30 in K-earnings from a series and seems to think that it is a promising start. Mike Cane would disagree.

That said, I can recall Oxford University Press and some others reporting better-than-expected earnings. So what’s the deal here?

  1. WTF? Why did you have mas 1) disagreeing and 2) the link to my blog and not my actual post?

  2. Hi, Mike. Would have better if I said, “I suspect Mike would disagree.” As for the link, hey, I did mean for it to go to the actual post. Have fixed. That was either a human error or wonderful Firefox messing me up with memory problems.

    Cheers,
    David

  3. I neither agree nor disagree that her money is a promising start. It’s just a fact. But I’m glad she’s a writer willing to be public about it!
