Whew. When we went into this a whole two weeks ago we never thought there might be real money in writing books. But a blogger was just given a $275,000 advance for her book.
So far publishers haven't offered us anything (which is fair since we are still working on the vision/TOC/proposal for ours) but they hinted that they'd be willing to pay in the $20,000 to $50,000 range for an advance. Now, that might sound like a lot, but we expect to put a man year or two into this book.
Like we said, you don't write a book for the money.
Or do you?
