- If you self-published the book and if you’re the sole author, then the whole payout goes to you.
- If you self-published a book and if you have some co-authors, then the payout will be split between you, and the group of you have to agree on the split.
- If you published a book with a publisher and if the book has gone out of print and the rights have reverted back to you, then the whole payout goes to you. (If you had co-authors, then the payout is split between you.)
- If you published a book with a publisher and if the book is still in print (so that the publisher still owns the right to publish), then the payout is split between you and the publisher, and the two of you have to agree on the split.
Obviously, there are a lot of possible variations on these, but it all comes down to one thing. Anyone who has a right to a payout will get paid if they file a claim and agree on a split with the others who are due money for the same book.
