Hi all,
After much heated discussion and debate, it was felt the right thing to do is to make our intentions clearer, beyond the exposure we currently offer our writers.
It has always been our intention to offer our authors some sort of royalty payment, once our book sales exceed a specific limit. In order to clarify this, I would like to make clear the following:
In terms of contributor royalties for e-books:
Royalties will be paid between contributing authors to an anthology after a set target has been reached, that of 150 copies sold.
The royalty payment, to be shared between contributors, will be 60% of profits received.
In terms of contributor royalties for paperback sales:
Royalties will be paid between contributing authors to an anthology after a set target has been reached, that of 100 copies sold.
The royalty payment, to be shared between contributors, will be 60% of profits received.
The royalty structure outlined is effective immediately, and shall apply to previous contracts by default.
In addition to this, we shall continue to offer our authors the usual good service, prompt response to queries and exposure.
I would also like to add, that although a large number of markets are non-paying markets, it does not make them any less warranted than ourselves. I have personally been published in many 4TL publications, and am proud to have been in them. I applaud the hard work and dedication that those publishers give to their books, in terms of professionalism and the help they offer to emerging writers. If it wasn't for such markets, I would never have had the opportunity to become published myself, or receive the guidance I needed to progress.
All the best
