Writing Books for Profit (Writer’s Profit Statement)

Posted under publishing by admin

Someone referred me to an interesting post by John Resig. He’s a programmer that wrote a book and he shared his publisher’s statement on his blog. It shows that he sold a LOT of books and made very little cash. This is the norm in his field apparently as there are many authors writing technical pieces about programming and if you sell more than 4,000 books you’re considered to be doing pretty well.

If you are looking to publish your first book you might find his page interesting… I did!

John’s Programming Book Profits statement from Apress publishing.

Interesting, yes?
