Having not yet written my first book, I'm looking for some idea of what to 
expect in terms of fees. What is considered low? What is the range? I know 
there are many variables, and this is a delicate issue, but if anyone could 
offer some guidelines it would be helpful me and probably to others. 
Although I have nearly thirty years of writing and editing experience, my 
work has been in newspapers, magazines and corporate communications. Thanks 
for any assistance.
