Royalties and Advances
At Be Your Own Publisher, we believe in transparency and fairness when it comes to your financial rewards as an author. Here’s how our royalty structure works:
Royalty Structure: We offer a straightforward royalty model where authors earn 100% royalties on the net revenue generated from book sales. This means you receive earnings after deducting applicable taxes, production costs, distribution fees, and returns. We calculate royalties on a quarterly basis, ensuring you receive regular updates and payments for your sales.
Advances: While we typically do not provide advances upfront, we are open to discussing this option based on the unique circumstances and market potential of your book. Advances are determined by factors such as market demand, sales projections, and the overall potential impact of your work. Our goal is to work collaboratively with you to ensure a mutually beneficial arrangement that supports your publishing goals.

Why do I need to republish and lower the retail price of my book?
Lowering the price of self-published books can be strategically advantageous for several reasons:
Competitive Pricing:
In today’s market, where readers have numerous options, competitive pricing can attract more buyers. Lower prices can make your books more appealing compared to traditionally published books or higher-priced self-published works.
Increase Sales Volume:
Lowering prices often leads to increased sales volume. More sales can potentially generate higher overall revenue, even if the profit margin per book is smaller.
Expand Reader Base:
Lower prices can encourage readers who are price-sensitive or hesitant to try new authors to take a chance on your books. This can help expand your reader base and increase visibility.
Marketing Advantage:
A lower price point can be a marketing tool in itself, especially when combined with promotions or discounts. It can attract attention and generate buzz among readers, leading to word-of-mouth promotion.
Author Attraction:
When pitching your publishing services to authors, emphasize how competitive pricing can help them reach a broader audience and potentially increase their earnings through higher sales volume. Many authors are looking for ways to maximize their reach and royalties, making competitive pricing an attractive proposition.
Flexibility and Control:
As a self-publisher, you have the flexibility to adjust prices quickly based on market trends, reader feedback, or promotional strategies. This agility can be a significant advantage over traditional publishing models.
