Mandorla's Author-Centric Publishing Model
Instead of a publisher-centric model where the publisher keeps 90-95% of the profits on sales of the books and pays out 5-10% in royalties to the author, Mandorla Books uses an inverted, innovative, author-centric business model, where authors pay a one-time fee for book layout, cover design, ISBN registration, Amazon and other online retail store placement, e-reader conversion, and promotion on Mandorla’s website. After publication, authors retain 100% of all sales royalties.
What this means for authors.
Let's say you set your book’s cover cost at $19.95. Your publisher may sell the book to Amazon at a discount of 55%, roughly $9.00. Your royalties, at the typically highest rate of 10%, would be 90 cents per book.
Publishing with Mandorla Books, where you keep all the royalties, means YOU would earn roughly $9.00 per book. This means you earn 10 times as much PER BOOK with Mandorla. If you sell two hundred books with a traditional publisher, you would earn $180 total. With Mandorla, you would earn $1,800.
An author publishing authors. It more than makes cents.
