I was looking at a book that I think will be a comp for a book I’m working on and found that it sold for a six figure amount after an auction with 10 publishers. I was unfamiliar with auctions for books so this article was very helpful. Thanks! The winning bid was an academic press—which also surprised me. I didn’t think academic presses offered six figure advances.

Outstanding! Thank you for this invaluable article.
What are debut novels selling for these days? Let's assume it's not super-buzzworthy or explodes in an auction. Ballpark is fine. Thanks!
