The calculation method of writing remuneration varies by region, publishing company, subject matter, word count, and other factors. The following are some common calculation methods: 1. Calculating by word count: Generally speaking, the calculation method of remuneration was calculated by word count. The more words, the higher the pay. However, this did not mean that every word was priced the same, because the price depended on many factors such as the subject matter, the author's popularity, and so on. In addition, if the novel has been published, the remuneration may be calculated according to the number of words after publication. 2. Calculating by word count and royalty: Another common calculation method is to calculate by word count and royalty. Royalties were calculated based on the sales of the novel or the cost of publishing it as a percentage of the author's remuneration. If the sales of the novel were high, the royalties would be higher. This calculation method was applicable to published works. 3 According to the number of times read: Some publishing companies calculate the remuneration according to the number of times read. This meant that if the novel was repeatedly read, the author's remuneration might be higher. This calculation method was usually suitable for youth literature, romance novels, and other topics with a wide audience. The exact price of a thousand words depended on many factors such as the subject matter, the author's popularity, the publishing company, the region, and so on. It is recommended to ask the publishing company for their price calculation method and standards in detail when discussing the remuneration to obtain more accurate remuneration information.
