How does a publisher get paid?
For each book sold, either as an “on demand” title or as an ebook, publishers receive payments as well as detailed sales reports monthly. These reports can be sent electronically or as a hard copy – whichever you prefer. For wholesale book orders, LSI pays the publisher the wholesale price of the book, less the cost of printing the book. The cost of printing is based on a unit cost for each book plus a cost per page.
