The traditional publishing route is finding an agent who will represent you and your work to publishers. Agents typically get paid a 15% commission on any book deal they negotiate on your behalf. Publishers usually offer advances to authors, which are paid out in installments as the author meets certain milestones in the production process. After the advance is earned out, authors typically earn royalties on each book sold, which are a percentage of the book's list price.
