Payments of fees. Payments of fees Women's magazine fees to authors of articles
I would like to quote from Sergei Kozlov’s article “How much does a book cost and what are the writers’ fees?”:
“The only achievement of current freedoms is that today any author, having the means, can publish his creation. Or find a philanthropist. The circulation of such publications varies from 100 to 3,000 copies. A good circulation for an author (in central publishing houses) is a circulation of 5–10 thousand copies. Even thick literary magazines today have dropped in circulation so much that they can barely eke out their existence. Famous " New world" has a circulation of about 1.5-3 thousand, and only the patriotic "Our Contemporary" has a circulation of more than 10 thousand copies. To be honest, fees for authors in these magazines are formal. For a short story, the author can receive from 1 to 3 thousand rubles. But here the power of prestige is already at work: being published in the oldest publication is the dream of every writer.
If a book is published at the expense of sponsors or regional administrations (according to their publishing programs), then the fee is negotiated in a special agreement with the publishing houses, and the amount is negotiable and can vary from 10 to 100 thousand rubles depending on the volume of the text, as well as the name of the author . The distribution of such publications is also the responsibility of the authors, as well as the owners of the circulation. Most often they are distributed free of charge to libraries and public organizations, and are also generously donated by authors to a narrow and wide circle of those who put these books on the shelves, most often without reading.
Central publishing houses today prefer to invest money, as usual, in well-promoted names that can be equated to brands. The production of this kind of literature, like television series, has been put on stream. Sometimes the author can no longer cope with the workload, and he has to hire so-called “literary blacks” who outline the main idea or several chapters in rough form, and the eminent author then “combs” these texts at his own discretion. Sometimes up to five very talented people work for such a “star” of modern literature, receiving very modest remuneration for their work. The star herself, whose name will be difficult to remember in twenty years, receives on average from 5,000 to 10,000 dollars for a hasty novel. Then, with decent advertising support, the product is thrown onto the market, and also immediately comes to the attention of the creators of television series for an adequate translation into the language of television viewers. In this case, the author receives additional funds. Here, depending on the manufacturer and broadcast channel, the amount varies from 10,000 to 50,000 dollars, because cinema is an expensive pleasure.
It should be noted that in Russia, in Hollywood, those who come up with the most interesting stories The people who make us look at the screen - writers and screenwriters - belong to the lowest paid category of the film industry. More recently, Hollywood screenwriters even went on strike over this issue. Let me remind you that the actors involved in the films receive a “penny” from each rental, no matter where it takes place. For example, a film is shown on an airliner, the airline has already included the cost of this screening in the ticket price, the actors and the director will receive their “penny”. This is in addition to a truly fabulous fee, amounting to millions of dollars. But this is in normal countries, where intellectual property is no cheaper than movable and immovable property, and is protected by laws.
The vast majority of Russian writers today do not have the opportunity to be published. Basically, regional authorities are engaged in their “exit into the world”, publishing collections, almanacs, literary supplements and individual publications at the expense of cultural, as well as publishing programs approved by the Dumas. It is more difficult for a provincial writer to get into a Moscow publishing house, get a “registration” and promotion there than for an applicant to enroll in Moscow State University or MGIMO. Usually there are one or two such writers living in a region. At the same time, their fees are very modest when compared with their brothers in the capital, who have a kind of “cunning” in communicating with publishers and know how to track additional circulations, which are usually hidden so as not to pay the authors additional money from the profit. Although, it should be noted that the publishing business today is a very risky business. The fee for a provincial author at a central publishing house varies from 5,000 to 15,000 rubles per author's sheet. What is an author sheet? This is 40,000 characters. And 40,000 characters is a dense text, typed in 14 font in the Times on 20–25 pages. In terms of the amount of spiritual, creative, and physical costs, 25 pages of literary text is a very labor-intensive work even for “quick-to-hand” writers.
Thus, the average modern dynamic novel (250 pages) - very small by classical standards - can bring the author from 60,000 to 200,000 rubles. Its film adaptation brings much more. Even with a very popular name, the cost of this work will not exceed half a million rubles, otherwise it will simply be unprofitable for the publisher to deal with this book. It should be noted that the author does not sell the text, but rather the copyright to this work for a certain time. Most often - for 5 years. And having sold the text once, he cannot during this time sell it to another publisher, audiobook creators, or even a film director without the consent of the original owner for publication.
If the above amounts seem large to someone, sit at your desk and try to write a book. An artistic text that philologists have yet to recognize as an artistic text. And one more thing: the task of a real writer most often does not coincide with the tasks of the market. Therefore, if in Soviet times many authors wrote to the table in connection with ideological dictate, today many write to the table because it is more difficult to sell and publish a literary text than a “sexy shooter”, “Santa Barbara”, richly seasoned with jargon and even obscenities. ”

1) The reader will vote with rubles only for the work that he really liked, for which he would like to thank the author not in word, but in deed. Therefore, if your work is truly remarkable, then nothing is required of you other than to write it and publish it in Novaya Literature as part of the royalty program. It will find its reader through word of mouth: readers themselves will recommend each other to read it and support the author. Create beautiful works and be rich! "New Literature" provides you with such an opportunity.
2) Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to create such a wonderful work that would reach the reader on its own: for this you need to have not only literary talent and writing skills, but also to get into the flow, as they say, to be in the right place at the right time, guess the requirements of current reality, cause a public outcry with your creation. This happens infrequently, and relying only on this is stupid. In order for readers to pay attention to your work, you, dear authors, must not only create it, but also make sure that people know about your brainchild. Otherwise, you will spend your whole life waiting by the sea for weather, never realizing that water does not flow under a lying stone.
