Karen Fox - Show Me the Money: "What do the various romance publishers pay? Here's the best info I've been able to glean from four years of surveying authors who were generous enough to volunteer their figures. Note that I am no longer including the outdated information from the old RWA surveys. Royalty percentages are based on cover price unless otherwise noted, and are for U.S. retail sales. (Foreign and book club sales, if any, typically have lower royalty rates.) In the interests of anonymity and accuracy, publishers are only included if I had at least two responses for that publisher. Similarly, n/a means that specific information wasn't available. I've added ranges for advances and earnouts, where appropriate, to control for the skewing that a very few numbers might have. I make no claim to statistical significance--I simply averaged what I had, with extra weight given to more recent figures, operating on the assumption that some information is far better than none at all."
