I know that money isn't a good reason to write, but I am wondering if writing as a new author is even profitable anymore. What makes a book successful? It seems less that it is the story or prose and more "Oprah's Book Club" or some other major publicity. See: 50 Shades Series...horrible books from what I have heard (never read for myself), yet they made the author massive amount of money.
