Christian Faith Publishing Information

Book advances often start at $5,000 from major publishing houses. Advances from independent publishers are slightly lower, often starting at $3,000. Authors who work alongside traditional publishers can earn from royalties once an advance has been repaid (earning out).

Royalties paid on the retail price are fairly simple to calculate, and unless, the retail price of the book changes (which does happen), retail royalties are locked in. Average retail royalties fall in the 10% - 15% range on Hardcover sales, and 5% - 7.5% on Trade Paperback sales, generally.

A first-time author of a traditionally published book can usually expect an advance of $1,000 to $10,000 and a 5% to 18% cut of the royalties. Many self-published authors have reported earning up to 70% in royalty fees for their ebooks although they do not receive any advance payment.

Publishing companies make money by taking in book sales, minus the royalties they pay out to authors and other artists.

For a first-time author, your advance usually ranges from $1,000 to $10,000 on average per book. So let's say you receive a $10,000 advance for your first book. This means you would then need to earn $10,000 in royalties from the sale of the book before you receive any additional income.

Most publishers pay royalties based on the retail price of the book. That means if the book retails at $20, and the royalties rate is 5%, you will earn $1 per book sold. These kinds of royalties are often called “list royalties” or “retail royalties.”
