About the occupation of an author.?
It depends on what kind of writing job you have.





If you are a novelist, or write books, then you would get paid when you sell your book(first an advance from the publisher, then a bit of sales (i think))





If you are a writer for a newspaper or magazine, then you would have an annual salary. (Unless you just write freelance articles, then it would be per article)
About the occupation of an author.?
Techincally authors don%26#039;t have salaries. They get paid royalties, which depend on how much the book was sold for. The most common net price for a book is 10 dollars, though it could be higher or lower, and on average the author would get $0.70. So, if you sell around 20,000 books you get around $17,000.





A lot of people, places, and even websites make writing seem like a glamorous job. It%26#039;s really not. You depend on your readers for your living and if they don%26#039;t like your book you better be finding a second job. Even the best authors write crap and that means a lower paycheck.
