Author Contract &
Promotional Options
|
Authors are contracted and manuscripts accepted at the sole
discretion of the publisher. To submit a manuscript for consideration
please follow the instructions found at the link
Submission Guidelines.
- Authors are contracted per book on a commission of 10% of wholesale.
- Authors pay no fees for any services, nor are there any
hidden deductions from the author’s commission. The publisher assumes
responsibly for all production and distribution costs.
-
The
publisher offers no sign on bonus or up front payment for any
manuscript.
- Authors are paid quarterly for all final sales in the most
recent completed quarter. Due to our return policy with our retail
customers, the final sales for a quarter are not calculated until the end of
the following quarter; therefore the most recent completed quarter is the
quarter before the current quarter (e.g. for quarter #4 the most recent
completed quarter is #2, because the books are still open for quarter #3).
-
Each author, or primary
author of a book with a co-author, will receive six complementary copies of
their book. If co-authors are involved, it is up to the primary author
to decide the division of these six titles.
-
To encourage the
author's promotion of the book, authors have the option to purchase up to
1,000 books in quantities of 100 or more at a 50% discount (the author's 10% commission fee is not applicable to
these purchases). To protect
our retail sources, the author must sell these books at no greater than a 10
percent discount from the suggested retail price. All other purchases
will be at the standard wholesale discount.
