Royalty and Payment Terms

Last Modified: April 20, 2025

We may update or alter the Royalty and Payment Terms at any time and changes will be effective and binding on you on the date thirty days from posting, as described in the Bound Hare Press Terms & Conditions.

Royalty vs Other Revenue

If you own the ISBN for your book, your revenue will be designated as “Other Revenue.” If you use a Lulu-provided ISBN, your revenue will be designated as “Royalty” as per the Lulu Creator Revenue Guide under section “Revenue & Royalties.”

Print Book Royalty Rate

You will suggest a List Price for each print book. Bound Hare Press has the right to adjust your suggested list price at any time. Calculate your book's printing costs and estimate potential earnings with the Lulu Pricing Calculator, understanding that Gross Profit will be split as outlined below for books sold on Bound Hare Press.

Royalties are gross profit: List Price minus the per book printing cost and any Lulu Direct fees. Gross profit is split between Bound Hare Press and the author.

Author: 65%
Bound Hare Press: 35%

For example:

Printing Costs

The cost to print your book is determined by the format and page count you've specified during the set-up process. Format selections include interior print color, cover format, paper color, and trim size. These selections impact the price of printing your book.

Minimum Retail Price

Your print book will have a minimum Retail List Price based on the cost to print your book.

Royalty Payments

Your payments will be transferred into the PayPal account that you have on file with Bound Hare Press via an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Depending on PayPal processing time, the funds can take up to 2 business days to reflect in your account.

Book Festivals and Fairs

If your book is sold at a book festival or fair, you will receive a royalty payment via PayPal within 30 days of the last day of the event. Royalty rate is 65% for author, the same as website sales.
