Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this - I'm new ! I got an email this morning after submitting my work to Austin Maccauley Publishers offering me a contributory contract for my novel. They offered "Paperback Home Sales: a royalty of TWENTY FIVE PER CENT (25%) of the net sales price. Hardback Home Sales: a royalty of TWENTY FIVE PER CENT (25%) of the net sales price. E-Book Sales: a royalty of FORTY PER CENT of the net sales price. (40%). " But I would have to pay about £2500 for the publishing. Has anyone gone through with this before?
I am not a writer myself but I work as a translator and recently one of my foreign clients asked me if I could become a literary agent in the UK for her fiction book series (that I have translated to English). She cannot find an agent in the UK herself since she does not speak English.
I said I will do my research and will reply.
However, finding information about this is incredibly difficult. There is very little information out there about submitting translated books to UK publishing houses.
