Do authors make good money?

answers1:No... they make BAD money... Just kidding. But in all
seriousness they usually make VERY little money, although if your
really good, or have a REALLY good story, then you can be very
successful. It's kinda like a singing or acting career... it usually
doesn't work. Just don't do it for the money.
answers2:Writing as a full time career is a difficult thing. You will
be broke in no time. You really need to have a proper day time job in
order to make a decent money and right novels in your free time or
part time. Because each novel of yours that sells ... you get only 10%
of it's price... !!! And even then if you have an agent you will have
to pay some amount to him.. So yeah... Take the safe job.. .and write
for the love of it. !!!...Show more
answers3:That really depends on their level of success. Most authors
don't end up rich like Stephen King or JK Rowling. A lot of writers
work as Creative Writing or English Professors. Quite often, writing
doesn't pay the bills long term. That's no reason not to try though!
Someone has to be a future Stephen King, etc. You should definitely
plan to go to college and take English, English Literature and
Creative Writing courses.
answers4:Not usually.If you made it big time, then yes. Ex: JK
RowlingI want to be an author too. I'm planning to get a normal job
and write novels at night :)
answers5:only if they're very good writers or if their books are very well known
answers6:A very small percentage of them. Most writers keep their day
job. When people tell you to have something to fall back on they're
not kidding.
