Re(8): Help with eBooks, please Posted on 5/21/2012 at 04:11:24 PM by Jean
Dear Alan;
As to author payments -- that is a tough one to figure until we see how/if the ebooks sell. If there's like $1.25 to divide among 20 authors...no. If there's a significant sum, divisible by the number of authors, yes. I realize that's not too definitive. But I honestly have no idea how they will sell. Of course I will compensate the authors -- if I can figure out how to do it. I'm thinking now that it might be best to wait until the ebook is out a year, then figure how much $$$ it brought in during the year, then divide the $$$ up among the book's authors. Leaving a piece for WhP, of course. Does that sound reasonable to you?
BTW, another big problem I forsee; a lot of our authors who get published in our anthos change their email addys afterward -- without ever telling me. As a result, I have no way in the world of contacting them. How am I going to do it, to tell them they have some revenue coming? I have no idea on this one. All suggestions appreciated!
