    Hi Jessica and James, great as always! Thank you for the informative information. It is a business, but I never looked at it as such. I wondered about books that are out of print. Do you still get royalties? Have a wonderful day! Thanks

      Hi! Thank you. You get royalties for as long as the book sells. Once it is out of print that typically means there are no more books selling to earn royalties from.

    Thank you for this informative video. It offers even more reasons to hire an agent for one’s book journey. I’ll be dating myself, but when I started my proofreading and copy editing business, I had on my desk an income ledger, an expense ledger, and plenty of sharpened Ticonderoga #2 pencils. 🙂
