Money Grows on Trees

An author’s little-known truth, because trees give rise to lumber, which can then be converted to paper, before it is being used to print books, which earn the writer a cash lump sum or an obscene royalty.

In billions of homes, it’s not uncommon for parents telling their children off that money doesn’t grow on trees, or that money is hard to come by, but for millions of authors and publishers, the opposite is true: “Money grows on trees.”
