Marketing Promotion & Public Relations customized to produce sales.

Custom Royalty Agreement

  • In the self-publishing world, most book projects are funded by the author or the organization paying the bills. However, Old Stone Press from time to time will share in the risk or invest in the project through discounting services (especially in the non-profit world). In the for-profit world, we may choose to invest in the project if it makes good business sense. In some special cases, if the author submits a business plan or marketing plan that supports or projects significant book sales, we may consider partnering with the client and share in the marketplace risk by investing a portion or all of our fees. In return, Old Stone Press would share a higher than industry standard commission percentage or “royalty” payment with the author or author organization based on book sale performance in the marketplace.
