I know for a fact that authors in Sweden gets paid, not only by bookstores but also by for example libraries (such as the one I work in) for coming here and talk about their books, and not just the wellknown authors either but frequently up and coming authors or authors that write books about special themes (dyslexia, how to feel better about yourself and so on...). Authors of childrens books often visits schools and have different kinds of workshops (this also goes for illustrators). What you pay the author is pretty much the same wether itīs a famous author or an unkown talent (but the famous ones are of cause harder to book).
