https://www.manning.com/books/go-in-action?a_aid=goinaction Pro Tip: write a tech book to advance your career, to scratch an itch, to learn by teaching. Don't write a tech book to make money. I don't have the exact numbers off the top of my head, but Go In Action is considered a successful tech book and it hasn't made enough money to make it worth the time invested if money was the only motivator. We donate all the royalties to a non-profit (Go Bridge https://gobridge.org ), so that was never our motivation... but I'd be seriously disappointed if I expected to make a living doing tech books with a traditional publisher. Maybe others who self-publish can chime in on how that's going for them. Glad I did it. Wouldn't do it again :) |
