I recently received my first royalty check, and with it came a newsletter specifically for its authors. An incredible amount of information was squeezed into the two sides of this piece of paper! (The publisher, BTW, is Schiffer Publishing, Ltd. Truly great people to work with!)
The first thing that caught my eye was on the upper right hand side of the page. It was a a short paragraph addressing the Minimum Advertised Pricing policy that the Schiffer imprint has adopted, noting that Schiffer is the only publishing house to have this policy.
There was also a short reminder to authors that words on the Internet are not public domain. To avoid a copyright violation, secure permission. Good thought,that!
The remainder of the front page was decoted to thoughts on e-books. Personally, I am on the side of e-books. The e-book readers are fairly reasonable to purchase, and the percentage going to the author is higher. One of the things noted in this article was that investing in e-book production may not be the best thing for every book (from the publishing point of view). One of the issues faced in publishing an e-book is converting print ready files into a format that can be read on a variety of readers. Then there are the issues with each of the agreements to distribute e-books with the major retailers. Certainly a minefield to navigate, but my hope is that Schiffer and other brick and mortar publishers are able to move forward confidently and effictively in the e-book venue.
The reverse side of this newsletter dealt with royalty questions, how authors can help market their own books, and authro events and signings (one in London, and one in New York City).
All in all, I was very pleased with this newsletter. It addressed solid issues in a solid manner. Kudos, Schiifer!

The mail has arrived! The house has been cleaned too, but the important thing today was the mail I got my first royalty check, from my first book! I knew it was going to be small … but it was so small that it did not cover my expenses in getting it out to be reviewed. I am okay with this. Really, I am okay with this. I am thrilled to have a book out there, I am thrilled to be associated with a great publishing company, I had a great experience with my editor in the process of getting the book published, and the promotions people have really been great to work with.
My second book has been accepted, the writing is finished, and all I need to do is fine tune two of the chapters, code it, and get it off to my editor. I feel very blessed that I have had this experience. It has been worth its weight in gold!
Having said that, I am going to be publishing my cozy mysteries in e-book format. I will more than likely use Smashwords, or an equivalent venue. I will be paying them for the work that they do, and I am fine with that. Unless we put ourselves out there and do something, we lead a very insular life.
Very happy to be a published author! <Wanders off to contemplate a Christmas special on signed copies of her book.>
