Author in 2010 is $156,403 in itemized individual contributions. FEC.gov counts 193 contributions from 52 donors against the stored string AUTHOR. Other cycles hold $4,229,361 (96.4%) of the $4,385,764 lifetime total. The relationship is self-reported occupation word, not a publishers' census crossed with a two-year cycle, not a writers' PAC, a book-industry NAICS rollup, or neighboring titles such as writer stored as other keys.
Key figures
- Author and 2010 together: $156,403.

Reading $156,403 as an intersection
$156,403 is the amount that survives both filters. The occupation filter is Author (AUTHOR). The cycle filter is 2010. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 193 lines, and the 52 donors.
Because the grouping is self-reported occupation word, not a publishers' census, the cell is a text match. Household members, retirees, and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.
Use the industry hub when the question is every cycle for Author. Use the 2010 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both.
The $4,385,764 denominator
Divide $156,403 by $4,385,764 and the result is about 3.6%. The complementary share is 96.4%, or $4,229,361 outside 2010. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.
$4,385,764 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched AUTHOR in any cycle in this table. The denominator $4,385,764 is every cycle stored for AUTHOR, not revenue and not assets. $156,403 over $4,385,764 is about 3.6%. The leftover $4,229,361 is other even-year windows on the Author hub.
