Does anybody know what a standard book deal would be for a first-time author of nonfiction? |
|
Just out of curiosity as I think about the long-term, does anybody have any knowledge about this?

1. It depends on the projected sales and which publisher you use |
|
Better finish the book quick, while people are still buying books.

3. I'm just thinking about what might happen if I publish my dissertation after I write it |
|
I realize that dissertations rarely get made into books these days, however. I'm just thinking out loud.
