Basically, take the amount of money you think your favorite author gets, halve it, and then halve it again, and you have a number that's probably a lot closer to their actual earnings from writing.

"But I don't think they make that much!"

Halve that. Halve it again.

When y'all buy from indie authors, it impacts us profoundly. Especially if it goes outside the circle of authors trading a few dollars back and forth amongst ourselves.

Over the background of a medieval city, a pink box with a list of tropes and a cover of the book, The Need for Dandelions by Alex Larkspur
Trope list:
- MM Fantasy Romance
- Queer Normative World
- Flower Symbolism
- Sort of Enemies to Lovers
- Falling in love during a crisis
- Forced Proximity
- Fighting Government Corruption 
- Oh. Oh. 

Book Cover: Two men stand back to back surrounded by depictions of dandelions. The man angled to the front is Galen. He has tan skin, red hair, and hazel eyes. A large portion of his face is covered by a burn scar. He wears a yellow tunic and brown pants, along with a pink flower pendant. He lifts up one hand, and looks concerned. The other man, facing towards the back but looks over his shoulder, is Sasha. He has light brown hair, dark brown eyes, and stubble. He is wearing leather armor and green shirt and pants. He is holding a sword.

A graphic with a green floral wall background. At the bottom is a wood desktop. On top of the desk are a stack of old books on either side of the typewriter. The typewriter has a paper sticking out of it with black text reading β€œqueer book submissions open” and a black line underneath it. At the top of the graphic is the Rainbow Crate and Rainbow After Dark logos. Under the logos it reads β€œCalling all authors!” in white text with a black outline. Under this it says β€œSubmit your book for consideration in RC or RAD through the link in our bio or on our website!” in gray text with a black outline.

I am really, really looking forward to the next round of revisions. That's the part where I get to largely coast through the book tightening things up, prettying them up, and applying beta feedback. This current round, meanwhile, is doing a number on me lmao
