I’m working on one, my friend is working on one, and we’re both working on one together. So, we’re trying to get 3 books published, but anyways, how much money does the author make if a book they wrote gets published? I know they sometimes go on TV, but I just wanna know the money amount they receive.
As already mentioned, it depends on sales, or, in some cases, anticipated sales.
You wouldn’t expect a book that sells a few dozen copies would result in the same kind of pay as a book that sells millions of copies. You also wouldn’t expect a first time author to get paid the same as an established "best selling" author.
TV and movie deals come well AFTER the success of a book is established. Same with publishing deals for markets outside of the country.
Depends on how many books you sell after they are published

The author gets royalties for each book sold. Authors like Stephanie Meyer who sell millions of copies naturally get a lot of money and authors who don’t sell many books don’t get much money.

Considering that you are going through the self publishing direction, I know this particular publisher is very transparent with its royalties. The rest of the money (40%) goes to the cost of printing the book, (20%) goes to manufacturing and order taking cost and only (10-15%) is the publisher’s profit (i.e. cost of paper, ink, binding) Royalty is based on retail price (not on net price as opposed to our direct competitors) – royalty is fixed.
