I set it as a starting place with the idea that it would probably result in a negotiated rate. That said I will restructure the donation to just $1.00 per book, so that the publisher can make some kind of return for their efforts.<BR/> ¶ 6/01/2006 05:00:00 PM 8 comments<BR/><BR/>What a shmuck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656468.post-1149812003199553922006-06-09T01:13:00.000+01:002006-06-09T01:13:00.000+01:00Here is Steve Clackson’s offer to publishers:“Here...Here is Steve Clackson’s offer to publishers:<BR/><BR/>“Here is your chance to publish a Thriller for FREE!<BR/>Pay No Royalties, No advance!<BR/>Sand Storm will be 100% yours.<BR/>Publish 1,000 copies, 5,000 or 100,000 it’s up to you.<BR/>You publish it, market it and keep all the money!<BR/>The catch.<BR/>One Caveat.<BR/>To acquire the rights you must donate $5.00 from every book sold…”<BR/><BR/>The offer is ridiculous and misleading if not fraudulent. Publishers don’t get the right to publish the book for free. You say no advance and no royalties, but the publisher must still pay out $5 per book. The $5 may not go into your pocket, but it still comes out of the publisher’s pocket, so it is the functional equivalent of a royalty. <BR/><BR/>As further proof that you have no understanding of the economics of publishing, your $5 figure is higher than even a generous 15% royalty of the retail price of a $25 hardcover book.<BR/><BR/>If a publisher issued a modest 10,000 copy print run of your book and sold every copy, they would be out $50,000.<BR/><BR/>Wow, that’ll have them flocking to your door.Peter L.

And you refuse to acknowledge that you are a nasty, tiny man who seems hell bent on spending his time rubbishing writers just because they are not famous enough to register on your scale of worthiness.<BR/><BR/>I hope Mr. Clackson gets a deal. Then, no doubt you will have to find some fresh meat to apply your grubby opinions to.<BR/><BR/>Being able to "convince publishers that they'd recoup their investment..." is not the same as writing a book that can recoup its investment. Your statement assumes divine and perfect knowledge on the part of 'publishers'. Most of them could no more 'spot' market potential than you could hide your ugly character.<BR/><BR/>Please, spare yourself the skullwork of a reply. The last time you applied your 'critical skills' to me I ended up going off at someone else, thinking it was you.<BR/><BR/>But I suppose it's nice to keep you occupied. At least you can't physically harm anyone when you're dripping your poison onto blogs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656468.post-1149553470277288572006-06-06T01:24:00.000+01:002006-06-06T01:24:00.000+01:00Could not locate Three Bags Full here in the US, b...Could not locate <I><B>Three Bags Full</B></I> here in the US, but I did find it in the UK.

The advance or, in lieu of any advance, the royalties paid on the average book (with sales of around 1,000 copies according to a BookScan VP) is the smallest part of the cost of producing the book.<BR/><BR/>Years and years ago, I read that it costs min. $40,000 to publish a book, not including what the author receives. <BR/><BR/>Clackson's offer to publishers isn't really a choice for them. Call it a royalty or a donation, it's still money out of their pockets.<BR/><BR/>What Clackson refuses to acknowledge is that his writing isn't good enough to convince publishers they'd recoup their investment in printing his book, even if he agreed to forego payment of any kind.Peter L.
