what do all of you look for in a publisher or websites that will sell your ebook for you (please list some if you know of any)....more closely, i mean, what types of arrangements ie. payment arrangement, book rights arrangement etc...
I would be interested in talking to you about selling your eBook, developing a website and protecting your content from piracy. I am finishing-up a an eBook project with a well known, NY times best selling print author that has sold over 12 million copies. Launch will happen in the middle of September. We are looking at 250k to 500K of Ebooks selling in one year!
I work with clients goals and objectives. My payment arrangements vary, project size, #copies sold, percentage of revenues, etc.
When I had books to publish I found that there was not a publisher that I felt happy with so I self-published and then started publishing other peoples books. One of my clients consulted with the society of authors before signing my contract and they said that the author should get 50% comission on the books. As a publisher the amount that I pay will tend to depend on how much work has to be done to the book to get it ready for publishing.
