The standard Terms of Royalty
payment is competitive with market median, and usually does not vary
by much from the Industry norm, notwithstanding that we give the
author the opportunity through an invite to still negotiate. Often the
royalty value is
as a percentage of the net receipt per sold-copy transmitted to
the company by the distributors of the company
However, we do not extend
royalty advances to authors to enable them prepare manuscripts, and
our thinking is simple, if the author has already acquired the
experience of developing a solution or approach to addressing a
specific otherwise enduring issue, then even written documents already
exists for the author to simple compile into a manuscripts subject to
full editing both by the author and our Editors Teams.
Royalty is paid every Calendar
quarter after adjustments for returns and other recoup considerations,
and there is no minimum that must be accumulated to trigger our making
a payment. A running total is communicated to the authors through the
quarter till payment is made. the first payment however usually holds
back the royalties collected during the month of payment, as that
amount may not have been adjusted for returns as of the time of
payment. |
