Exposed: The $26K Bookstore Plot Promising Fame That Could Cost You Everything
“Royalties to be paid directly to the author…” Bookstores don’t pay authors’ royalties. Bookstores pay publishers and then publishers pay their authors’ royalties.
“The Publisher shall not be entitled to any royalties under this Agreement.”
First of all, publishers don’t earn “royalties.” Second of all, the publisher has already scammed the author out of $26K, and they weren’t going to print or ship any books out anyway, this is just a fraudulent “feel good” line of text in the contract.
“Royalty payments will be calculated based on confirmed sales and disbursed within 120 days following the end of each calendar quarter.”
