Re: Published Author $$ - Naive

My general experience and knowledge of my own and others' royalties is that
Michele is, um, doing VERY well, ;> (Good job. I'm green.)

One way to get nonfiction book deals is through studiob.com and other groups like
that that just go find gigs for writers. Another option is to just do a proposal.
Send one through the web page for OReilly, etc. They usually have "Write for us!"
links. They'll also list the topics they're interested in.

Oh, btw, Justin, if you don't do the update on a book you write, the author who
does it instead of you can take 50% to 100% of your royalties. Just fyi.
