You get 30 per cent of all money received from the sale of your book until you have recovered your investment and 20 per cent thereafter. So, after receiving back your subsidy, you can receive a considerable return on even a moderately successful title. Royalties are paid twice yearly, for sales over the preceding six months, as is standard in the book trade. There is no charge for this service and no obligation on either party until a publishing contract is signed. We offer a full written assessment service for your work.
Every book is different.
There is no standard rule about this. If you have illustrations of an acceptable standard, we accept them. Or we may suggest using artists associated with us, for a modest fee. We can offer a flexible instalment plan. In fact, we will do whatever we reasonably can to accommodate your circumstances.
