Two last questions for DEAR CRABBIT

Ellie asked:

I know you've been published by a range of presses but, I was wondering, how many agents have you had? I'm currently working on my novel but after it's done I'll be going back to my Christian non-fiction book and then my children's book ideas. I'm thinking, in addition to needing different publishers for each of these I will need a different agent also. Is that correct?

Don't give up the day job - get stroppy

Nobody explains the numbers as well and clearly as my friend, Stroppy Author, and here is her brilliantly clear explanation of how the money works out for writers.

I would add only that the discounts nowadays are on average painfully high. And most books are not as much as £10 even before the discount. But I appreciate very much that Stroppy was being kind to my poor mathematically-challenged brain by using round numbers as examples.

Thank goodness for Stroppy and Crabbit!
