Basically, it was a look at the pros and cons of digital\/epublishing.\u00a0 Because it does have it&#8217;s pros and cons.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m getting some questions about what to <em>look<\/em> for in an epublisher\/digital publisher, what makes a good contract, etc, etc, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m any sort of expert and please don&#8217;t take this as any sort of expert advice.<\/p>\n<p><em>But<\/em> if I was shopping for a new epublisher-and I&#8217;m not, so any epublishers who might be reading this, please do not take this as an invite to leave your info.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not one&#8230;and pretty please, please take note that I reserve the right to redecorate\/re-edit posts that come off as overly-spammy versus actually <em>contributing<\/em> to a conversation.\u00a0 If you want to contribute, by all means, but that means&#8230;um&#8230;discuss, not just spam my blog. (Yes, this happens, it irritates me.\u00a0 A Lot.)<\/p>\n<p>If I <em>was<\/em> shopping for a new digital publishing&#8230;the first things I would do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Investigate the potential epub\/dig pub on Absolute Write-if the horror stories don&#8217;t make me run screaming, then I proceed<\/li>\n<li>Do a google search for the &#8216;pub name&#8217; + complaints-same as above-if there are more complaints than NON-complaints&#8230;eh, I proceed with caution<\/li>\n<li>Check out the website.\u00a0 If it&#8217;s professional, I proceed. If not, I stop.<\/li>\n<li>Look at the covers.\u00a0 If they are professionally-done covers, I proceed.\u00a0 If not, I stop.<\/li>\n<li>Read the excerpts. If they are well-edited, interesting, I proceed. If not, I stop.<\/li>\n<li>I buy a book.\u00a0 If it&#8217;s a hassle, I may well finish buying the book, but then I stop-this is crucial guys, because if it&#8217;s a hassle for YOU to buy the book, it&#8217;s a hassle for your readers.<\/li>\n<li>I look at where the title can be bought&#8230;their site only? Nook? Amazon?\u00a0 If just their site?\u00a0 I&#8217;m gone.<\/li>\n<li>I do more moseying around on the web because I want a feel for the publisher\/web presence, although I do this all the time anyway and generally, I have a feel for a lot of them anyway.\u00a0 This is a big thing for me, because some epubs have people in charge&#8211;not writers&#8211;but people <em>speaking<\/em> for them who tend to make asses of themselves.\u00a0 That&#8217;s not who I want in charge of my books.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If all of this worked for me, then I&#8217;ll submit a book.\u00a0 If it&#8217;s accepted and a contract is offered, that doesn&#8217;t automatically mean I&#8217;m signing.\u00a0 Certain things will make me pause, and certain things will make me stop cold turkey.<\/p>\n<p>Now one thing that <em>doesn&#8217;t<\/em> make me stop, at all, worldwide English rights&#8211;<strong>YOU WANT THIS<\/strong>.\u00a0 In my opinion, at least, this is a good thing, because one thing my digital publishers helped me do was build a world-wide fan base and those readers were waiting for my traditionally published books the day they hit the shelves.\u00a0 Without those digital books, they wouldn&#8217;t have even known about me.<\/p>\n<h3>Pauses<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Lifetime rights&#8230;I&#8217;m hesitant to do this with digital.\u00a0 I just am.\u00a0 Depending on the work, and what it would-# of sales, how I could get the rights back before, I may still sign<\/li>\n<li>Right involving translations-depending on who, what opportunities I see coming from this, I might still sign.<\/li>\n<li>Definition of <em>out of print<\/em>&#8230;needed to get my rights back, generally.<\/li>\n<li>royalties not paid monthly or at least bi-monthly-this is one of the biggest pluses of digital publishing, and I&#8217;d be less inclined to sign with somebody who doesn&#8217;t offer that plus, because it also makes it a little bit harder to build that regular income that is such a positive for digital publishing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Stops<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Non-negotiable. <\/strong>If I&#8217;m told something isn&#8217;t negotiable.\u00a0 Sorry.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t want to hear this&#8211;even when I first signed with Berkley and all I had were digital titles to my name, they were willing to negotiate on some things.\u00a0 Both of the digital presses I write with now have negotiated with me on my contracts, and I&#8217;m not\u00a0 interested in signing with a digital publishing who <em>won&#8217;t<\/em> negotiate, especially since I know there are other digi-fish in the sea, so to speak.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low royalties.<\/strong> My royalty rates range between 37-40% for direct sales and just a bit lower than that for 3rd party (amazon, nook, etc).\u00a0 I won&#8217;t sign for under 35% percent royalties for direct and if I&#8217;m told I&#8217;d get less than 25% sales from digital publisher for 3rd party sales&#8230;well, that&#8217;s a big fat stop.\u00a0 I mean, BIG. FAT. STOP.\u00a0 My personal definition of low royalties for an epub\/digital first pub? 30% and under for direct sales, and anything under 25% for 3rd party sales.\u00a0 (One minor caveat?\u00a0 If it was a shorter work that didn&#8217;t take me much time-and by short, I meant short story\/novella stuff and I&#8217;d also be weighing in promo\/exposure possibilities-but I wouldn&#8217;t be looking to build a career with a company that offers low royalties, not when there are better fish in the digital sea, and not when the sales from 3rd party vendors are becoming such a <em>huge<\/em> portion of sales, often 20-30 percent of my monthly income)<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>How<\/em> do I get paid<\/strong>-net v. gross.\u00a0 They can nickle and dime you down to nothing-I will not let this happen.\u00a0 I also am not likely to sign if they have a reserve against return on ebooks, as generally ebooks don&#8217;t <em>get<\/em> returned.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Failure to have print plan in place<\/strong><em>. <\/em>Especially if they are asking for print rights.\u00a0 If they want the print rights to my books, then they have better be able to lay out their print plan to me.\u00a0 If they can&#8217;t or aren&#8217;t willing, then they don&#8217;t need the print rights to my books.<\/li>\n<li><strong>First Right of Refusal<\/strong>.\u00a0 This is a major stop for me-one of the reasons epubs\/digital pubs work for me so well is because of the versatility.\u00a0 If I lose that versatility, then things get bad.\u00a0 So if I&#8217;m not doing first rights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For a more comprehensive list of things I&#8217;d look for on digital pubs, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shilohwalker.com\/website\/?p=5558\" target=\"_blank\">you can check this post out<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My advice to those looking to digital publishing&#8211;<em>talk <\/em>other digital authors and hang out at the forums on absolute write, that sort of thing. Don&#8217;t be afraid to ask questions and remember, it&#8217;s <em>your<\/em> book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t be so excited to get it published<\/strong> that you end up signing a contract that doesn&#8217;t get you the best deal you can get.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t believe publisher contracts are out to screw authors over, but those contracts are designed with the <em>publisher<\/em> in mind, not the author. If you know how to negotiate, or get an agent who knows the ropes, you can work out a contract that benefits <em>both<\/em> of you.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have an agent, make sure you get a contract attorney to review it before you sign.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>see more Lolcats and funny pictures Okay, so I&#8217;ve had a lot of people commenting\/emailing\/DMing me about an article I had in the RWR-the magazine<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shilohwalker.com\/website\/2010\/08\/my-mini-crash-on-epubsdig-pubs\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;My mini-crash course on epubs\/dig pubs&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9229,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10161045129738658_54762468447":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_bluesky_dont_syndicate":"","_bluesky_syndication_accounts":"","_bluesky_syndication_text":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[14,43,60],"tags":[133,146,234,572],"class_list":["post-9399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ebooks","category-qs-i-get-asked-a-lot","category-useful-places-for-writers","tag-digital-publishing","tag-epublishing","tag-publishing","tag-writing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
