How Does Eagle Quill Compensate its Authors?
Eagle Quill Publishing does not buy into the traditional publishing production processes which typically take an unreasonable amount of time and labor. In traditional publishing houses, editing and production can take between 40-80 weeks. That translates roughly to between one and two years for your accepted manuscript to be in a bookstore. In their mind, this justifies their take of up to 90% of royalty revenue, which leaves an appalling 10% royalty for the average author.
Eagle Quill negotiates royalty rates with each author and they vary according to the amount of work that the manuscript requires.
Bottom line…we can get your book to market in less time and pay much higher royalty rate than a traditional publisher.
How Does Eagle Quill Publishing View the Publishing Industry?
Just as in many industries, technology innovations are changing the publishing business in profound ways. The balance of power has always been tipped heavily in favor of the big publishing houses, leaving little room for the voice of the author and the reader. But major changes in the three most important aspects of publishing are providing the catalyst for change and providing an opportunity for independent publishing companies like Eagle Quill, publishing, distribution, and marketing.
The ebook revolution is here and it is no longer just the early technology adopters using them. Amazon reported a 70% increase in ebook sales last year and it has become a multi-billion dollar market for them. The Kindle remains the biggest selling item on the site, and considering the worldwide product giant they are, that is staggering in its implications.
Publishing can now be done electronically in a variety of formats for use on various ereading devices. Hard copies can be printed one by one economically using print on demand services or offset printing, depending on needs. Electronic and hard copy distribution channels are now accessible to independent publishers, such as Eagle Quill. Bookstore distribution is now handled so much more efficiently and effectively by companies like Ingram who are responsible for getting the books into the bookstores. Eagle Quill works with Ingram (and other companies like them) and utilize their network of sales staff to assist us in promoting our books.
Does Eagle Quill Publish Only Ebooks or Printed Books as Well?
Our publishing strategy here is to publish all books in electronic format, paperback and hardback format via a print on demand service of mass printing and distribution as Ingram for booksellers nationwide. Most bookstores will only allow your book to sit on the shelf for six weeks before yanking it if it does not sell well enough for them. Unless you are a well-known author, it is almost impossible to achieve success in that incredibly short length of time.
