How are net sales broken down?

How Amazon breaks down self-published payments to authors.

Paperback Books: Book price X 60% - Print Cost = Net Profit

The print cost will vary based on how many pages, color to black and white, etc. This net profit is where the 15% will be removed from. 

How can I be added as an author? 

We're always looking for new self-published authors to add to the website. Please contact us at WordsThatGive@gmail.com to begin the onboarding process.
