I think from the cover and the description that this is a book that is in the "recipe" or "method" - what to "do" to do, month by month ... It doesn't. absolutely not interested - see the exchanges on the main thread!


And by the way, how much have you sold so far (if not indiscreet?

What to do month by month ???
Ah well it would be nice nerd then

Riddle on sales.

What I do know is that the "restocking" (these are new orders from booksellers) were 1 in November and 500 at the time of the last exchange with the editor around December 1th or 000th. There were then about a hundred in stock at Editis.

I'm assuming that the "big" of the different prints have been sold, if they recommend, although of course there are a few left on the shelves at bookstores.

From memory, it was pulled 5 000 + 3 3 000 times. By the way, 2 500 will be taken early 2019 by France-Loisirs (or something like that). So I think that soon, we should touch the 15 000 ???

Superb score ... hat, it must make your "competitors" dream, knowing that it's not over.


On another plane (of which I do not want to know anything), that of the business of which I do not know the arcana in the edition, you must have a way to know the exact figure not, at least for your personal remem?

A little like Sacem, I do not know where you have to be registered? SACD?

In short, it's all about you but, just like the filing of title: watch the grain, for a gardener it's the least Image

Until then, I had my "worth" of 3 euros gross, from which some contributions were actually deducted (I was asked to opt for this or that plan - I don't remember which one! - A know: in France, with the pay-as-you-go system, a retiree can work, he then contributes - for others! His retirement, frozen at the time of departure, does not budge; it is logical when you want to make the effort to find out what a pay-as-you-go system is - we contribute for others; it is up to young people to contribute for us; hence the importance of "consolidating" these systems when demographic changes disrupt the ratios; many imagine themselves that their contribution money is placed somewhere and waiting for them; so I accept that without putting on a yellow vest). The net received was taxed (added to my income).

Annually (in June I believe, for Editis), the publishers take stock with the booksellers. Until then, the books shipped were only "on consignment". Go out to the distributor. But not sold. Neither cashed by the publisher !!! For some networks and large accounts, the distributor very quickly has the "cash out" (so actual sales). But not for small booksellers. It is a question of computerization and connection of computers. So once a year, we take stock: you turn over the books that remain and you pay for the ones you have sold. This is how small bookstores can hold. If they had to pay for all the books on the shelves, they would be bankrupt.

And after that, the author will see calculate his royalties on sales. In my case, 6% of the price of booksellers HT up to 10 000. 7% beyond.

After deduction of the "credit" (which is a kind of guaranteed advance; the sum is acquired to me, even if the copyright never reaches this sum; it is in a way a risk that the editor and a "gift" he gives you for the work of writing - gift if you do not reach the planned sales of course).

Once the copyrights exceed the value, the sums are paid once a year to the author. Deductions made of contributions. To tax (if the author is honest or caught by the tax - artists or their managers tend to forget - see some famous cases, some cows songs, some sulfur declarations and some fast emigrations, etc ... ).

I did not ask you the financial details but just the sales calculation mechanism that seems surprisingly "manual" in our time but that if I understand correctly is validated only once a year ...

The publisher of the journal détente et jardin refers to your book in an article on Wedemain.
This book has become a reference that is used to argue, it is still a beautiful, very beautiful success.

That does not bother me. I have always found unhealthy our habit of not being able to display our income.

The mechanism must probably take into account the fact that it is a deposit-sale and fortunately: no small bookstore could be created if she had to pay the books 30 days, at the risk of not selling it. Remain more than the big machineries of the American type riding on horseback ... [they, they take advantage of this system: you realize, they have already cashed several times before settling - I guess anyway they settle when they recommend].

Now, probably the publishers do not make more effort towards the authors! They too, the cash, once they have it, they keep it as long as possible ...
