But doesn't it raise the publisher's advance? A long time
ago, I saw Sarah Schulman read and she said she got
substantially more for After Delores because of its crime
fiction elements.
Mark If you're comparing the advance paid for literary novels
to what's paid for crime novels, you're correct. At this
point I'm a bottom-feeder when it comes to crime novel pay,
but my literary novel friends drool over the amount I get. Of
course, there are the top few who make a lot, no matter what
kind of writing you're talking about. Vicki
