Happy to answer any questions
Hello,
First off, I'd like to introduce myself since I am new to Absolute Write Water Cooler.
I found this thread when it appeared in my Google Alerts.
I am thrilled that people are discovering Tribute Books, but I would like to clear up a few points.
We are an independent publisher more in line with the subsidy category. We offer authors a 10% royalty on the retail price for every copy sold through us.
We do have start-up costs that fund author copies, cover design, interior page layout, ISBN, copyright, Library of Congress, press release distribution, book signing coordination, Amazon, Ingram & Baker & Taylor, video book trailer, eBook distribution, online reviewers, etc.
We are definitely not like LuLu. We offer so much more. Please check out our Press section -
http://www.tribute-books.com/press.html - we continually market our titles even several years after their initial release.
We are dedicated to our authors. You are not just a number when you choose to work with us.
Thank you,
Nicole Langan
