Writing and Money
Here is an article on royalties, advances, and making money as a writer. I haven’t actually read it (too tired), but it sounds like useful stuff. My advice? Always get a good advance – it’s often all you ever get.
Who is Felicity Banks?
I’m a writer of The Antipodean Queen trilogy, the Rahana trilogy, and many interactive tales including Murder in the Mail, Magic in the Mail, and the Shooting Through escape rooms (currently non-operational due to COVID-19).
My store is at shootingthrough.net/store
Chris is my partner, Louisette is my eight year-old daughter, and TJ is my six year-old son. My cats are Zipper and Zoom. I’m based in Canberra, Australia.

That was interesting… I’m pretty clueless as to how anything money and contract wise works so this was useful 🙂
Now I just have to get an agent…
