Royalty is the amount paid to an author for each copy of a book sold. For every copy that a reader buys on the Pencil reader app, you will receive 70% of the sales price i.e. the amount the customer paid the retailer. For every other platform, your royalty would be 50% of the net receipts.

Your sales and royalty report is available on your main dashboard on the Pencil Publishing Platform.

Net Receipt is the amount we receive from retailers and / or distributors for the sales of your book.
