30% Of What?

Harlequin Enterprises has launched
an eBook only division,
Carina Press.

Some authors are in a tizzy
about the royalty rate
Carina will be offering,
‘outraged’
that it may only be 30% of selling price
compared to 35 or 40%
offered by some other eBook publishers.

Without knowing volume or selling price,
this is foolishness.
If Carina sells double the volume of books
at the same price,
I’ll happily take a 10% decrease
in my royalty rates.

Sales should be compared
on total profitability,
not on components.

Know how you’re getting paid.
