My advice to anyone who writes books, don't expect to make any money!
I got a check from my publisher, Tate Publishing, the other day. They sold $422 worth of my book, "The Power Of A Penny," and guess how much I got from that? A whopping $39.89. So much for the power of a penny!
I imagine the Tate executives are celebrating by sitting on a tropical island somewhere enjoying a fruity drink with a cute little umbrella in it thanks to me!I hope they get a sun burn!
Hi Sherrie,
ReplyDeleteI'm certainly not interested in celebrating anything if you are dissatisfied with our efforts in marketing. We are only about 7 months removed from your initial release date, and there is certainly much more we can pursue in marketing for you and your book. Unlike most publishers, we are here to partner with you long-term and to continue to work hard to promote your work ongoing.
Distribution royalties are just one aspect of author sales, and we have a plan in place that can help you see profits in other areas as well.
Please do not hesitate to contact me or your Marketing Representative, Jim Miller, so that we can continue moving forward.
Sincerely,
Mark Mingle
Director of Marketing
Tate Publishing
