Epublishing Survey - Confidential!

Angela James at Samhain is doing an epublishing survey and workshop to tell the uninitiated what they can really expect. Can you help? Here are the general deets that she needs. She says:

"If you’re willing to share with me–and only me–your 2007 epublishing earnings, I would like to use those numbers for my workshop, no names will be attached.

Total earned (through epublishers, but it can be for print and ebook earnings through those epublishers):
# books total for sale (not just new books, but backlist books):
# publishers (the books above were published through):
Were you a new author in 2007?

One author got particularly motivated and broke it down further to # of novels, novellas and short stories but that’s not necessary unless you really want to send me that info. I will use it if you send it.

My goal is to (hopefully) demonstrate that a living can be made in ebooks (one author has already responded who makes 1 1/2x what my husband makes at his day job), but that the income/royalties made can vary widely per author as well, and that backlist does help.
If you’re interested in sharing with me–and again, I will share names with no one else–please email me at angie@samhainpublishing.com. I’m already privy to Samhain’s numbers, I just really don’t want this to be about Samhain, but about epublishing in general, because my workshops are about epublishing, promoting positive information about epublishing. And I promise, this is not about finding out other publisher’s sales numbers, which is why I don’t ask who you write for, or what books you have with each. I am asking general numbers only. I understand many of you are not comfortable sharing this information, so no worries! I’m hoping if I ask around, I’ll come up with a few respondents.

If you think you know of others who might be interested in sharing their numbers with me, please pass this on.
