Topic: Ensuring royalties

Writer friends, I have a question. My books are for sale on Amazon. Tonight I found out they are also for sale on B & N and AbeBooks.com (Out of the UK). Question--I have not submitted my books to these two entities. How do I ensure I am getting royalties?????

Re: Ensuring royalties

I'm not sure about the answer to your question. I've had luck simply contacting Amazon and talking to them. You could also talk to your publisher. I use Create Space and call them regularly. If they can't answer a question, they point me in the right direction. I'm not sure about the sales channels, but I've sold quite a few books somewhere in Europe, also some in England. I run a royalty report on Create Space to find this information. Hope that helps

Did you put them on Amazon or your publisher? 
Amazon has an international and other channel options.  These distribute them in a lot of odd places. smile

If it was a publisher, they then probably applied to all major sales groups.

Re: Ensuring royalties

I think I've got it figured out. Publisher sent to B & N before telling me. The other thing is extended distribution in UK AND I just got a nice little deposit to my account.

Now, I need to know how to check sales with these two.

Janet, I thought you were self-published. Who's your publisher?
