Questions
Common questions
Do we pay for a cover or an ISBN?
No. Your book is already published, with its own cover and ISBN. We do not design covers or assign ISBNs for Other Publishers, and there is no charge for either.
Can we agree a different share?
For a large catalogue, talk to us. We can set a different rate for your account.
Who pays the authors?
You do. We pay the company. What you pay your authors is between you and them.
