That's the other thing I meant to bring up. I make $100 per 4000 words, and by professional writing standards, that's pretty much working for peanuts.

Nobody will take you up on it. Pretty much everyone who's ever written anything on the internet has had the same idea, and it never works out. They think people will pay for stories the same way they commission drawings from artists, but the market just doesn't work that way. You're better off...

Dang, and I thought my commissioner was giving me a good deal by paying me $100 per 4000 words.

Why do you think they have to be mutually exclusive? Henry Rider: Clown Hunter is pretty much predicated on the idea that a story can be funny, intense, and dramatic all at the same time.

1. I was in my early twenties and didn't have a full time job back then, so Kory was too expensive for me to keep commissioning. 2. I was expecting this level of quality for that price... ...and ended up getting this level of quality. 3. I wanted all the books in the series to look the same...

How many times have you had a new cover made for one of your books? For me, The Slayer and the Sphinx holds the record with six covers for a two-book series. The first one was commissioned by Kory Bing, artist of the webcomic Skin Deep. But her prices were really high, and the art wasn't the...
