1Author net royalty refers to the net amount calculated using the publishers own royalty formula which uses the publishers website published unit print prices for books (of specific trim size & page counts as well as publisher set foreign exchange rates for sales made in overseas territories). The amount calculated by the publishers net royalty formula is the amount paid to authors per book sale & is final & non-negotiable. Full details of the publishers royalty formula are available on request. Links to various calculators and spreadsheets that will help you understand how author net royalties are calculated are listed in your author control panel. Royalties that are paid by PayPal do not incur admin or handling fees though they do have any charges charged to us by Paypal® for transferring them to you deducted. Full details can be found in your author terms and conditions.

2 The drop ship percentage is the rate an author pays above the Publishers published unit print cost for any particular trim size and page count. Drop ship orders are liable for shipping & handling/admin fees. Please see author's terms and & conditionsfor full details.

3Any cover submitted (either by a professional or an author) must comply with Gigalillion cover file specs for it to be printed. Our cover file specs document is in the authors resource area.

4Extras for any particular publishing package are available any time at the price listed at the time of ordering. After you have begun the process of setting up your book, please contact us about ordering any extras you require.

5This upgrade percentage refers to the percentage payable of the published package price (of the target package) advertised on this site at the time an author wishes to upgrade, and not a percentage of the package price that was published at the time authors original (and first) publishing package was taken out.

*Subject to terms & conditions. PayPal® charged fees will be deducted if the method of payment is PayPal® or bank charges plus admin fee deducted if bank account payment made.

+Correctly printed technical proof counts as one of the complementary copies provided as part of any publishing package.

Unit price is a trim and page count derived amount (based on the publisher's currently in force fee schedule) that is used in the forumlas utilised by the publisher for calculating the price an author will be charged per book, for drop shipments and/or the book unit price used by the publisher for working out royalties due to author for sales of their book. The unit price shown on this page is not a figure authors will be able to purchase books at, as it will have a percentage added to it dependant on the package an author publishes under and the asociated terms and conditions of that package (including additional fees such as shipping and handling). Further, due to market fluctuations, the unit price for any particular trim size and page count shown on this page (along with other subsequently derived figures such as royalties due) may not be the currently updated price that will be charged (or paid out for sales) by the publisher, and therefore any figures shown on this page should be considered estimates only. The publisher is entitled to change the unit price charged to authors at any time or reason.
