Traditional Publishing
The publisher takes all the financial risk to publish, market, and sell the book. While the author does not pay, it also means that we have to be very selective in the manuscripts we select for publication. The author is also not in control of the publishing process and all final decisions are made by the publisher. The publisher undertakes to maximise sales through effective marketing and distribution channels developed over many years.
The author receives royalties as payment. This is a percentage off the nett returns to the publisher starting at 10%.
Copyright of the book transfers to the publisher. The author still retains the copyright to the text, but the rights to the cover and any packaging belongs to the publisher. The details of this will be stipulated in a contract.
