Last day to respond to The Bookseller's royalties and advances survey

Around 240 authors and illustrators have shared their experiences of receiving advances and royalties as The Bookseller appeals for more responses ahead of the survey closing tonight (3rd September).

The short online questionnaire aims to explore whether authors and illustrators feel they received advances and royalties in a timely and effective way, if there were issues during the process and how these could be resolved. It should take around five minutes to complete.

The results of the survey will be included in a news report on The Bookseller’s website. Around 240 responses have been collected so far after it was launched on Thursday (29th August). To take part in our research, please fill out the survey online by 11:59 pm on Tuesday 3rd September.
