How much money a novella made depended on many factors, such as the quality of the novel, market demand, publication time, and channels. Normally, the cost of publishing a novella would be very high, but the response from readers and royalties after publication could make up for these costs. According to some statistics, a successful novella usually earns between $100,000 and $500,000 in royalties, but this is only a rough estimate. In addition, there were also factors such as the percentage of the publishing company, printing and distribution costs, so the specific income would be affected by many factors. The amount of money one could earn from writing a novella varied from person to person. Success depended on one's creative ability and market response. In any case, writing is hard work that requires constant practice and hard work.
