What are the numbers for trad-pubbed authors?
Just because an author gets picked up by a trad-pub be it because their book was a work of art or because they fit the market for what's hot at the time and were halfway decently written doesn't guarantee they'll be successful. A lot of books never earn out their advance let alone makes tons of money or sales for the author.
