Publishing for free

The online e-book publication and the optional book publication of your termpaper or thesis is completely free for you.

You don't have to pay anything for publishing your text. Publishing a textbook with other publishers can cost the author over 1000 Euros.

Up to 40% royalties

You receive a high royalty for every sale.

Your royalties in detail:

• E-book / final papers: 40%
• E-book / other texts: 35%
• Book: 10%

You receive your royalties from the first sale on. For authors outside the EU we may cumulate your royalty up to 25 EUR. You can find a detailed royalties list here.

Your royalties are calculated from the net sale price and are paid quarterly.

The sale price of books is 5-10 EUR higher than the e-book-price which means higher royalties for you.

If you wish, you may publish your text with open access for anyone - as done by thousands of our authors.

You can download the contract for authors here and read it.
