Author Advantage Royalty Program

The Author Advantage Royalty Program empowers you to earn substantial financial gains with every print book sold.

This Program runs for a 3-Year Term and ensures that you receive maximum profits from sales of your book, and that you can also order copies of your own book at heavily discounted rates.

Book Pricing & Royalties

Figuring out how much your book will cost, and how much you will receive from each sale is easy. The retail price* will be based on your final manuscript's page count, and the royalty you receive is determined by the following calculations:

For print copies sold on our Online Bookstore: your book’s List Price x 60% = your royalty.

For print copies sold through channel retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble: your book’s List Price x 15% = your royalty

*Combining the Author Advantage Royalty Program with Set Your Own Price provides you power as the author to set a competitive retail price for your book, and to reap the maximum benefits as well. Contact Balboa Press to learn more.
