this is not how compensation for writers works, generally, and also the whole idea is to break a traditional publishing system that exploits writers in favor of one where people directly pay the authors.
Go on then, tell us how compensation works. Authors don't get paid when they sell books, is that it?
What's preventing authors from selling directly?
