Royalty Statements 2024 have been issued

 

That time of year again – Royalties have been processed

I have now completed all of the royalty statements and they have been sent out if you have gained more than £10.00 Remember:

 

You may use your earnings to buy books – either immediately or we can hold them on account until you want more books.

 

You may wish to pay part or all of your royalties to one of our charities which this year are The Born Free Foundation, Medical Detection Dogs, Search Dogs and Whizz Kids

 

You can also just let your royalties roll over to next year.

The 31 March is the final date for letting us know if you want to donate all or some of your royalties to our charity.

 

Royalties will automatically roll over to next year if we have not heard from you by 8 April.

 

Please let us know which you prefer.

 

You probably have a rough idea if you've been following the monthly updates.

 

There are at least four people who did cross the £10.00 threshold but are still paying off an advance and / or paying off  'author kit' books. Do remember that in the two latter cases we only hold back royalties on that particular book.

 

CafeLit (e-zine) is one of the best earners and if we have featured your book or story in a Saturday Sample or Sunday Serial you still get a royalty for that.

 

Individual book performance sheets are only uploaded to the drop box at the end of the month. (Often a few days into the new month) I may have a slightly more up to date one but it will only show extra direct sales.

 

You can request your individual royalty statement at any time but please do this via a private email.

 

Even if you haven't crossed the £10 threshold you can still use your royalties against purchases books or donate to one of our charities.

 

Several people haven't responded to the emails I've sent out, so do check your spam.

 

We've paid out more than ever this year.

 

Now, back to other business!
