Author Compensation with Best Chance
By Alan O’Hashi – Publisher
Best Chance Media’s compensation isn’t royalty-based. Big traditional publishing houses are happy to pay a celebrity an upfront royalty advance. They bet that a big name will sell books.
A small press like Best Chance works with indie writers and operates on a revenue-sharing model, and that’s a good thing. In most cases, advances are simply loans against future sales. If your book doesn’t “earn out,” the publisher sees it as a financial liability. They may stop putting effort into promotion. They might even drop the title entirely.
At Best Chance, your book is never treated like a liability. Instead, you start earning real money from the very first sale. Here’s how it works:
- 40% discount for authors to buy their own books.
- 50% of every sale Best Chance makes goes directly to the author.
- Quarterly payments are deposited into your account.
- You always own the copyright.
Best Chance will send your quarterly payments via PayPal. Once your book is selected, you’ll be asked to set up direct deposit for remittance by linking your bank account to your PayPal account through the online dashboard or the PayPal app on your phone. Payments totaling at least $10.00 will be transferred quarterly. Any amount less than $10.00 will roll over until the minimum threshold is met.
If this compensation formula seems fair to you, and you meet all the requirements, submit your manuscript:
It may take BCM up to a month to accept or refuse your submission. If you have questions, ask Besty Bot. We’re here to provide you with the right information.
