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?
