Publishing Package Pricing & Royalty
$1500 investment (plus publisher receives 18% of first year’s net sales)
As a courtesy, our authors have the option to republish their book with a new publisher after the first year. Otherwise, the contract renews at the 18% royalty rate after the first year. (Approximately 99% of our authors stay with us after the first year, and 48% of our books published were written by authors who have published more than one book with us. We're proud of that!)
