I Think I Know What I am Looking For as Income Pretty Well

Q

How do authors earn royalties from being in anthologies? Do they have to share this income with anyone else, such as their publishers or editors?

Let’s take the case of usual traditional publishing. Let’s break it down into two cases.

All the pieces in the anthology are by your own pen: you share with publishers or editors. You contribute one or two pieces to several more: the collective of authors share with publishers or editors, and the shares of each author can be either 1 share per piece or proportionate to the text mass, as they agree on.
