Publishing Model Comparison
Traditional Publishing
Traditional publishers typically offer authors 8-15% royalties on print books and around 25% on eBooks, retaining most of the revenue and rights.
The two big issues with traditional publishing are the high costs as a percentag of royalties and low revenue share, and the lack of real marketing support.
- Royalty Percentage 15%
- Rights Retention 10%
- Revenue Share 8%
- Author Control 10%
- Support Services 60%
Self-Publishing
Self-publishing allows authors to earn up to 100% royalties on eBooks, but they must handle all costs and responsibilities themselves.
You also lose money dealing with platform issues. ISBN costs are high for single titles, and copyright expenses are tough as well.
You can wake up and your account is locked, or you have 24 hours to respond to a copyright proof demand.
