make money writing
What percentage of writers make a lot of money from writing?
I want to publish books,so I can pay off college loans/continue to pay for schooling. I also like to write so its not solely just to make money. However..it would be nice if I got rich doing it 
hmm maybe 30,000-300,000
What the others said.
I’ve been selling my books for 20 years and never made more that 20K on any one title.
I’m a VERY good writer but with mediocre sales, and this year because things are tight I had to sell a book I’d been working on for the last three years for only 10,000.00. I got 5K on the contract signing, 2500 on the turn in, and will get another 2500.00 when it’s released in a couple more weeks.
Not a lot of income for three years’ work and the next pay installment is already spent on bills and mortgage.
Make danged sure you have a DAY JOB with health insurance.
One of my pals is a New York Times bestseller and even she had to go back to work again because she couldn’t afford the health insurance.
The writers you hear about who make the mega deals are like lottery winners. There’s not many of them and they are outnumbered by mid-listers like myself and even I am in the 1 percent who make more than four figures a year from writing. Barely.
This website shows some general figures on how much book sales can gross you. It’s for romance, the highest paying part of the publishing industry. Assume you’ll make the lowest amount for being a newbie.

Day job. Most writers MUST have a day job. Before King hit it big he lived in a trailer, wrote in the water heater closet, and taught school. He was not a successful writer and he was ready to give it all up when lightning struck.
I’m still waiting for that to happen to me. We all are.
