self publishing paperback
At least how many publishers of books, he must sell to cover the cost of publishing?

Hi, y'all. I am curious about any book published, say, a not-so-good 500-page paperback (length about a Harry Potter book), what is the minimum number of books from publishers, must sell to cover their costs of publishing? (Including the payment to the author and marketing costs) OK, I confess that I ask this because I'll write a novel. How many buyers will be attracted my novel to get published? (I do not want to self-publish it)

This a difficult issue because it depends so much on the specificity of the book deal individually. There is simply no way to estimate this because that the factors are variable. For example, lead author could be $ 4,000 or $ 50,000. The book with the advance will have a higher print run higher sums if different books are printed and sent. And it's just to advance, not counting other variable costs (for example, the creation of a photoshoot for a hedge against publishing photos of stock). Many people think that the publisher first begins make money when their lead author wins (and if you can estimate the number of copies to be sold based on the advance the royalty rate), but not necessarily the case and the book may still have been profitable for the publisher. But he could meet your question anyway, because profits are usually the point where an author feels like they have done well for themselves and their publishers. For simplicity, say you get an advance of $ 5,000 and a royalty rate of 8% a cover price of $ 10. This means you earn 80 cents per copy sold, and your book should sell 6250 copies to earn your advance. But there is no single answer to your question "how many buyers of my book have to attract to get published? "Suppose you've got interest from a publisher, and they made an offer – they offer is based on the number of copies they feel your book would sell. This is not something you can control (other than trying to write a book so they think they can sell a ton of copies). It also depends on the size of the publisher. A small publisher will have smaller runs and Advances smaller, but still may be a good choice. But you will not expect to attract thousands of buyers before you even submit. Publishers know their market and audience, and they perform calculations to estimate how many copies they think they can sell before the author ever an offer. Basically, the hard work of writing the best book you can and start submitting. Do not even think about submitting some thing you can watch and say, 'not-so-good. "
