House of Mustard:
How does Russia compare money-wise?
Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock:
Awesome, I want a copy of the Russian text. Signed and autographed, or whatever it is you novelists do to books.
EUOL:
Actually, the advance is larger than I expected. $1,500 (as opposed to 10k in America) with 10% on the royalties.
House of Mustard:
Is the Russian market big?
EUOL:
Besides America, the only moderately big market is the UK market. Everything else is kind of marginal.
From what Dave said in class about royalties, he expected to make his advance over again from all the foreign markets combined. If you figure that the UK is going to pay about half what America does, then that leaves about 50% of your advance (5k in my case) to be spread across Russia, Germany, France, and Spanish and Asian markets.
These are rough estimates. I'm sure I'll know more eventually. I'm not sure about other European markets (Italy, Poland, Scandinavia.) Germany, France, and Russia are the three I hear mentioned most often.
