<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I do want to make it very clear that
this is the FIRST book I have ever self published. Most of them
were flat fee, no royalties. <br>
<br>
That said, back in the 70s it was a lot easier to get published,
really by a publisher published, than it is today. I got paid $500
for my first porn novel, got up to as much as $750 for them. I
typed the first draft, my wife edited and retyped a clean copy and
off it went. I even had one editor that paid me in advance once
when $$ were tight. <br>
<br>
Sidebar: The fringe benefits of that arrangement made for a lively
marriage, but it was all fiction. Regardless of what I wrote Peggy
and I were together for 50 years and we never strayed. <br>
I did have a rather liberated old aunt I sent a book to and she
said we must have a very interesting marriage. We did, just the
two of us. <br>
<br>
Fastest turnaround? I think it was maybe 9 days from my first key
stroke to the post office. <br>
