Question

How much does the Average author make per book that they write?

Answer 1

Hmmm, I'm sorry, I do not know... But i would be interested to know the answer to that! :)

Answer 2

honestly it depends on the price, popularity etc
which is in turn affected by the length of book, type of paper/cover, time and effort taken, genre, difficulty of writing, amount of print/ink etc

don't forget all the money used per book for promotion or printing
an author might make only $5 from a book sold for $25 due to all the effort used in bringing the book to the market

hence there are too many factors to make even a near accurate guess


if you don't mind looking at statistics though, i've found this link for you:
