@jjaron.bsky.social @mike_malaska Note that the Booker Prize is £50,000—but the 50K hardcovers shipped on the back of it probably earned the author another £100,000 or so in royalties, payable after two quarterly accounting periods (to allow for unsold bookshop returns). And the win made a TV or movie option deal almost inevitable (although whether anything gets made and released is another matter entirely).
