The first step is to send us your product so that we can decide if we want to offer it. (You will find an email address on our contact us page.) This might sound a bit pretentious but we are not like other retailers who list just any garbage they receive in their slush pile of download products. We accept ebooks and videos in any subject category but are primarily interested in magic (sleight-of-hand, illusions, mentalism, ...), gambling (poker, blackjack, roulette, ...) and games (chess, bridge, ...).
Should we like your product we will get back to you with an offer that depends on the level of exclusivity you are willing to extend to us. If you are willing to sell your product exclusively through Lybrary.com then we can pay a higher royalty. If you want a non-exclusive retail agreement then royalties will be lower.
Royalties are paid via Paypal whenever you want without any minimums or other limitations. You can transfer outstanding royalties whenever you like with a simple press of a button. We have the only verifyable royalty system in the industry. See FAQ #18 for details. (We do not charge any fees on your royalty payments, but Paypal will charge you a fee.)
Additionally, as a royalty receiving author, you can purchase anything at Lybrary.com at a 10% discount with your earned royalties. During checkout you will see a new 'pay with royalties' payment option. For many of our authors this is a very welcome benefit.
NOTE TO MAGICIANS: Please do not send us your half baked ideas, tricks you have not performed, tested, researched, and written up in proper and understandable English. Having been in this business for more than two decades I have seen it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Just because you have performed magic for two or three years, and come up with some trick, does not mean you should offer it for sale. Perhaps it is better to submit it to a magazine for publication, or release it on a blog or forum for free to get valuable feedback from the community. It is also often more appropriate to collect several tricks into one release rather than release every brain fart as an individual for sale item. Provide value to your customers. One half baked trick for $10 is not good value. Think about how you would feel buying such a trick.
First you should perform your trick for a good while. This allows you to find out what parts you need to improve on, and if it is a trick spectators like. Then you need to research if anything similar already exists before rushing to release it. This means searching and reading the literature. Then you need to write it up in proper English. If you are not a native speaker use writing tools to help you (ex. Grammarly), and then have at least one native speaker read it and make corrections. Share your inspirations, your sources, your influences. We all are standing on the shoulders of the magicians who came before us. Rarely is an idea or method entirely new. It is your responsibility to find out if your idea is new or not. Spend time to find out if anything similar exists. Our Magic Knowledge Base can be very helpful in this regard. If you do all these things you will create a product you can be proud of.
