Publishing Agreement - the simple solution!
This agreement is between you ("the Author") and Dragonpublishing.net ("Dragonpublishing.net" or "publisher"), for your book ("Work").
Copyright Notice:
All copies of work will contain a copyright notice in the name of the author.
Warranties:
The Author represents: That he/she is sole owner of Work. That he/she has not assigned or pledged the rights to Work. That he/she has full power to enter into this Agreement. That the Work and rights are free of liens, claims or interest. That the Work is original. That the Work does not violate any personal or proprietary rights. That the Work is not libelous or obscene. That information contained in Work is accurate and not injurious to the reader or any other party.
The Rights To Your Work:
The Author acknowledges and agrees that Dragonpublishing.net acquires no right of ownership to the Work; that Dragonpublishing.net is a provider of limited services only and assumes no responsibility for reviewing or correcting the content of the Work.
Author's Royalties, Book Pricing & Discounts:
Your paperback and hardcover royalties are 83% of the payments received by Publisher from sales of your book. These payments are equal to the cover price less trade (wholesale) discount, less the single-copy printing cost (this is the profit margin of the transaction). Royalties are distributed quarterly. No royalty will be paid on author purchases.
Example: Someone purchases a copy of your 210 page book at Barnes & Nobles and the cover price of your book is $14.50. Subtract Barnes & Nobles 55% trade discount ($7.98) and subtract the printing cost ($4.05), the remainder ($2.47) is the profit margin, 83% of which ($2.05) is the royalty paid to you.
Authors may purchase copies of their own title, in any quantity from Dragonpublishing.net, at the current printing cost plus 10%, plus the actual shipping and handling.
Note: Printing prices are subject to change as market conditions and costs warrant.
Dragonpublishing.net prices books based on finished page count, however, we will consider special pricing requests whenever possible and if we feel the book is still within market value.
