How much would that dragonlance rip off in my bottom draw earn me?

Interested in SFF writing, but now sure how much you’ll get paid? Tobias Bucknell has done a survey of author advances and he answer is: not much. Median advance on a first novel is US$5,000 in both fantasy and sci-fi But still, 5 grand isn’t bad…

And fantasy at least, is surviving the recession nicely, with sales up about 10%.
