Royalty Fund Donations
These donations will be used to cover the cost of reimbursing authors for their book sales. Large book distributors, like Amazon and B&N can take anywhere from 30-60% of the sale in fees, distribution handling, and processing. This means for a physical book, after the cost to print and then these handling fees, an author can only expect to make anywhere from 50 cents to $2 per book. The returns are similar for ebooks, minus the printing cost.
Indie Reads will use this fund to reimburse authors for sales. The goal is to give authors a 95% royalty on all sales, though that will fluctuate based on the amount present in this fund at the end of the quarter. Thank you for considering donating and helping our indie authors get the royalties they deserve!
