I'll give 2 answers - what do I think they *should* get, and what do I think they actually get...
I think they should get at least 50% of the money that reaches the publisher. I'll admit that it's an arbitrary figure, but it reflects that it's likely to only come out after HB and PB editions, and has very little in the way of production costs - so there's only marketing and administration to worry about... (I won't pretend to understand the economics of how much of what I pay for something reaches the Publisher).
What do I think they actually get? I'd imagine it's as low as the publisher can gouge them for... (Sorry - I'm a cynic when it comes to commercial organisations, as they're mandated to maximise return for shareholders). So probably more like 5-10%...
