Royalties in self-publishing … no such thing!

admin — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 05:17:53 +0000

There is an important point that we feel needs clarifying after some recent inquiries.

We are often asked: ‘What royalty will I be paid on my book sales’. So what is a royalty?

When entering a publishing contract, you give a publisher exclusive rights to your work for an agreed period of time and they pay you a percentage of revenues for that right. Called the royalty, this amount is usually 10% of gross sales revenue.

In self-publishing there is no such thing as a royalty.

As a self-published author, you own your book and you retain the rights. You may choose to employ particular retail outlets to sell your book for you and they will pay you based on the sales they make, but this is not a royalty. These shops are buying from you at a wholesale price.

This difference between a royalty and a return on sales from shops is important to understand.
