What is the average Yearly income for a children's book author?

Answer 1

Authors are paid by their sales. About 90% need a spouse's income or a second job to make a living. Ten percent make a comfortable living. Less than one percent are rich.

Answer 2

The average yearly income for a children's book author can vary greatly depending on factors such as book sales, royalties, and the author's level of success. On average, children's book authors can earn anywhere from $20,000 to $60,000 per year, with some top-selling authors earning significantly more.

Answer 3

Generally $500 every 100 pages if everyone is well illustrated, but it depends!

Answer 4

If you work for a not very well known author, I'd say around £10,000-£30,000. For someone like J.K. Rowling or Malorie Blackman, you're looking at at least $40,000!
