What types of royalties can I expect when selling my book?

Asked 5 months ago
When selling a book through Lulu.com, authors can typically expect to earn royalties based on the sales of their books after expenses are deducted. The royalties depend on several factors, including the type of book, the chosen distribution channels, and the pricing set by the author. For print books, authors often receive royalties based on the book's sale price minus the printing costs and any applicable fees. Typically, authors can set their retail price above the base cost, allowing them to earn a profit on each sale. For eBooks, the royalties are generally more straightforward, with authors receiving a percentage of the sales price after Lulu's commission is taken into account. In many cases, this percentage can be higher compared to print books. It is essential for authors to review the specific royalty structure provided on the Lulu.com website to understand all the details and potential earnings from their works. Always refer to the latest information available there for the most accurate details.
