Royalties
How much will you get paid for your book? If your book is published
by a traditional publisher, you will be receiving anywhere from 1%-25%
for each book sold. That doesn't sound fair, especially considering that YOU did the
hard work of writing the book. At Saint Paul Press, you get more!
Sales Made through Our Distributors (All bookstore chains,
such as Barnes & Noble, Borders, and Family Christian, and independent stores)
For all books sold through our distributors to bookstores, libraries,
wholesalers, etc., you get 100% of what’s left over after the discount and after
the printing cost.
For example: if your book retails for 10.99, and a bookstore orders
it for $7.00, and printing costs $2.00, you will be paid the entire $5.99.
Sales Made through Amazon.com
Through a special deal that we have with Amazon.com, you will receive
everything left after the cut that Amazon.com gets, and the printing cost of
your book.
For example: if your book retails for 10.99, Amazon.com takes
$3.00, and printing costs $2.00, you will be paid the entire $5.99.
Sales that you Make Personally:
You keep everything, minus the printing costs.
For example: if your book retails for 10.99, and printing
costs $2.00, you will be paid the entire $8.99.
