Do I have to pay the advance back?
***********************************
In most cases, no, only if you don’t deliver an acceptable manuscript by your deadline. If the actual sales of your book don’t reach the amount that was advanced, and 90% of books don’t, you don’t have to pay the difference back.
Which is easier to get published fiction or nonfiction?
******************************************************
Nonfiction. Of the 172,000 books less than 10% were fiction.
What category of fiction is the largest.
******************************************
Romance, 55% of all mass market paperback books sold are romances.
What is backlist, mid list and front list?
********************************************
Backlist books are those written in the prior year(s) but still selling and still being published. Publishers select a small percentage, probably less than 5% of the books published in a season and actively promote those books in the front of their catalogues with full page descriptions including national promotion, book tours dates, advertising budgets, first print runs, as their front list. 95% of books published are mid list, in the middle of the catalogue, no ad budget, no promotions, no book tours.
