A few days ago, I read in a group. Vent author, the text has been approved by the issuer to sell a system-breaking, but it's been more than a year the book was nevertheless published. Despite receiving payment, but as a writer he was not satisfied before seeing his work exhibited at the bookstore shelf. Some people commented that the risk of buying and breaking up, the authors could not do anything after the manuscript was purchased.
(1) author received payment shoe storage cabinet in accordance with the number of books sold in a particular period. shoe storage cabinet Authors typically shoe storage cabinet get 10% of the selling price of books, some of the gross price but also from the net price, Letter writer should look at Publishing Agreement (SPP). Royalty 10% is not set in stone, for writers with big names that have been market tested, can certainly get more. For the sale of government projects usually value percentage drops to 5%.
(2) the payment period, generally per semester (6 months) although there is also a three / four months or once a year. There are publishers that certain monthly payment schedule, for example, sales of the first half (Jan-Jun) shoe storage cabinet paid in August and then the second half (July-Oct) paid in February, there is also a counting shoe storage cabinet book 6 months from date of issue.
(1) author only receive one payment. The amount depends on the negotiations shoe storage cabinet between the writer shoe storage cabinet and the publisher. For example manuscript collection of fairy tales or children's novel by the number of 60-70 pages of A4 paper size, will receive Rp. 2.5 million.

(A) does not always, but more often harmful.
(B) profit and loss are not always in the form of money, it could be a loss in economic value but is morally (future capital) gain in value. For example, a book that sold-breaking reprint many times, the author must have felt very loss saw that he received no money is nothing compared to the book sold. Even so there is a moral advantage (capital ahead), which is increasingly well-known name (if write again already have the power to negotiate royalty) and the publisher will not release the goose laying golden eggs (if it sells books, publishers will be fighting for the writer and of course they will be ready negotiations for the next book).
(C) the royalty payment, highly profitable writer but as a writer sometimes be a moral burden of its own, for example, has been able to DP 25% turned out in a year book only sold 20% of the first printing, of the authors had a debt, and the debt has nevertheless not taste delicious. shoe storage cabinet
(C) royalties system would seem the result after 2-3 years into a consistent writing because royalty will accumulate over several books, such as year-1 wrote 6 books, 2nd year published 8 books, then the third year in addition to royalties received new book from the pen that year, he also received royalties from previous years.
