What is required to enjoy a successful media career?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER:
It is a competitive market, so you need to be good and relentless in the promotion of your work. One type of writer is a book author, most of who are self-employed or work part-time jobs while writing their great American novel. Authors do not get a salary, but are paid a royalty—a percentage of the net revenue (after all costs are deducted out) from sales of the book—from traditional publishing houses. Book royalties between 8 and 15 percent, depending on how good you are and how well you negotiate. Authors no longer have to depend solely on publishing houses to be a success. Many authors self-publish or write
e-books.
