The publishing fee price is the selling price excluding the statutory value added tax as well as minus trade discounts, production and shipping costs.

The selling price can be determined individually by the respective dealer, unless the nationally bound selling price is required by law (book price fixing).

If an author chooses a one-time fee,the percentage compensation is for sales. In this case, the author will receive a one-time payment of 10 euros (depending on the country, if applicable 10 GBP, 10 CHF or 10 USD).

For sales in the context of a licensing to other publishers of the publishing group, the author receives 10% of the publishing fee. These fees are billed to the publishers once a year.

The annual billing mode also applies to subscription and subscription models, as well as various loan and retrieval models for libraries.

* If you link your texts to a partner code, you can get 5% extra on each text sold via this link. More information about the partner program here.
