Stories often have periods of time pass where nothing significant or exciting happens. Starting a new chapter is an excellent way for time to pass without writing about the boring, irrelevant events.

Also, readers very rarely read a book in one sitting; so Chapters are an excellent way to know when to stop reading for the night. They are also a nice way to remember where you are in a book.

Chapter 23 is much easier to remember than page 428.

Some authors use chapters to foreshadow (give hints about what's coming) by giving their chapters titles- or by having quotes at the top of the page.

In short, Chapters are more convenient in a book and allow the authors more artistic freedom and the ability to pass over boring passages without writing the generic "12 Hours Later..."

I hope this was helpful.

What are the wages of an author?

That depends upon lots of factors: * how many books has the author written? * how well know is the author? * how many of the authors books have been published? * of those published, how many books have been sold? * what are the royalty fee structures of the publisher? There is no textbook answer for this question. Authors do not earn "wages" per se ... it's not like a 8 to 5 job being an author.
