Question 1

When do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

Whenever you want. Earnings from each sale unlock 45 days after the sale, once the refund window closes. Withdraw to your bank anytime, with no minimum payout. Your dashboard shows a real-time breakdown of every sale by title and channel.

Question 2

Is there a minimum payout amount?

Accepted Answer

No minimum. As soon as $1 clears the refund window you can withdraw it, no withdrawal fees.

Question 3

Do royalties differ between digital and print?

Accepted Answer

Both can reach 95%, but print works differently. For digital sales, you keep up to 95% of what the reader pays. For print, we deduct the actual production cost first, then you keep up to 95% of what's left. Example: a $12.99 paperback with a $4.44 print cost leaves $8.55, and on Authorpreneur you keep $8.12. The exact print cost for your book is shown in your dashboard before you set your price, so no surprises at payout. Try the calculator.

Question 4

What percentage does PubliWrite take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your plan. Free: we take 20%, you keep 80%. Author Plus: we take 10%, you keep 90%. Authorpreneur: we take 5%, you keep 95%. No delivery fees, no size charges, no annual fees. Those percentages are the whole story. See the breakdown.

Question 5

Can I sell on Amazon and still earn 95% through PubliWrite?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you haven't enrolled the book in an exclusivity programme like Amazon's KDP Select. PubliWrite has no exclusivity requirement of its own. Your book can be listed on Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, and any other retailer at the same time. You earn up to 95% on sales that go through PubliRead, our reader-facing marketplace. Amazon applies their own royalty structure to sales through their platform. The two are completely independent. Read about our distribution.

Question 6

I write under multiple pen names. Do I get separate payouts?

Accepted Answer

No. All your pen names consolidate into one balance, withdrawable anytime. You'll see a full breakdown per pen name and per title inside your dashboard, but a single account covers everything. No need to manage separate accounts or payment details per name.

Question 7

Are there any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

No. ISBNs have a separate charge if you go beyond your monthly plan allowance, and that's disclosed before you confirm. Print costs are shown upfront before you set your price. There are no withdrawal fees, storage fees, or inactivity fees. What you see on the pricing page is what you pay.
