You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? I may be in trouble.

I'm going to do a little thread on how the money from books works for traditionally published authors because people have questions, and this is always useful info to share IMO. First, a big disclaimer that every contract is different, and there are a million factors that can change things. 1/
