I need to know what amount of money is paid to a first time author of a category romance. ie Heartsong Presents.
Is it on a commision only basis or is there a flat amount plus a percentage of the profits? I am interested in a ballpark amount. I am writing one and I am curious about the money to be made.

Unless you are an established author, you have to put it the other way around. Just try to find a publisher, don’t expect to make much money, if any. Once you have a track record, you can negotiate a deal.
