If you work with them directly, you get 35% royalties and there is no listing fee.<BR/><BR/>I signed a contract with FW to distribute my backlist through them. They released one book a week for nine weeks. Sales were very good for each title the first week, then petered off. Only two or three titles have maintained steady sales on a weekly basis.<BR/><BR/>FW provides weekly sales figures to authors and publishers alike, but cautions that they aren't set in stone. They pay quarterly, with royalties being sent 45 days after the end of the quarter.<BR/><BR/>Personally I love the exposure FW has provided me ~ I've gained readers who only found me through that site. However, I do not like their rating system ~ there are no comments or reviews to quantify the rating readers have given a specific book. Authors have no feedback on why readers mark a particular book as "poor."<BR/><BR/>Overall, I have be very satisfied with my sales through FW, both as an author selling my own work there and with my publisher, too. The new publisher I'm working with doesn't list new titles at FW immediately, so I'm curious to see how that dely will affect things.J.M.

I think a 1-month lag would be ideal. Get those first sales directly from the publisher's site -- which is healthier for the publisher, too -- then move on to other distributors.<BR/><BR/>That being said, 3rd party distribution is important to me for building name recognition and easy access to my backlist. At this point in my career, it's not just about the sales numbers.Alessia Briohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619940510165528430noreply@blogger.com
