How Do Book Royalties Work

You’ve probably heard the term “book royalty” get tossed around in publishing.

But what does it actually mean?

To put it simply: a book royalty is the amount that a publisher pays an Author for the rights to publish their book.

While simple in concept, this can raise many other questions for first-time authors.

• What is the difference between NET and Gross?

• Will I earn more royalties from traditional publishing or self-publishing?

• What’s the typical profit margin on a book?

• and many more questions.

Still, royalties don’t have to be a mystery. In fact, they’re pretty easy to figure out.

In this video, I’ll explain what royalties are, how much Authors can earn, and the various types of royalty rates.
