Example Royalty Calculations
You set your own book price and the royalty that you will receive for each book sale before you publish during our simple publishing steps. The FeedARead publishing system, funded by the Arts Council who are the major funder of the Arts in the UK including The Royal Opera House, enables authors of all nationalities to receive considerably higher royalties for each book sale than the standard for author royalties. Examples are below. Our royalties are higher than the two largest print-on-demand (POD) publishers and also higher than the norm for mainstream publishers. Print-on-demand (POD) is the process by which a bookstore quality paperback is printed each time a reader orders a copy.
United States Authors
Example royalties for a $12.94 US dollars book in bookseller distribution. You can set your book price and royalties higher if you wish when you publish and see the exact royalty according to your book size.
Book Distribution Channel Sales For sales of your book through bookseller distribution channels, the author will receive 80% of royalties after the retailer - Amazon etc - take their bookseller discount, which is typically 30 to 55% of retail price, and after print costs have been deducted.
$12.94 - bookseller discount - print cost = $2.94
80% of $2.94= $2.35 to the author per book sale. FeedARead receives the remaining 20% of the $2.94.
