​All New: Literary Queens
​Print Distribution

​Finally: Affordable Print Distribution With Fair Royalties And Actual Connections 

If you're already part of the Literary Queens family and want to take things further — real bookstore placement in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, through Thalia and independent booksellers — Print Co-publishing is now available to you.

​

Benefit from a print run at our pre-negotiated bulk order prices with reputable printers (at around 1,80 - 2,80 € per copy, depending on order amount and page count) – you decide how many. We put our full distribution network behind it and handle everything: local storage, logistics, retailer ordering, and shelf placement. If the books retail at around 17€, and after all margins and logistics costs, we'll net per book approximately 36% of list price (~5.72€). You will receive 90 % of all royalties until your full investment is recouped. After that, and only after that, our margin increases to 30 %, meaning we will only recoup our time and efforts once you've broken even and we managed to move your books. 

​

Example:

Print 500 copies at ~1,000€. At your 90% recoup rate, your investment is back after 175 sales. Everything after that earns you 70% of net margin per copy — on real bookshop shelves, under our imprint, distributed through channels most international authors can't access independently.

​

The important difference to so many other "offers":

With us, you're paying a printer to manufacture your book, not a vanity publisher to take it on and profit from selling you stuff. We only win when you do, and together, we believe we can make a real change in the way indie authors are participating in the German book industry.
