THIS
PUBLISHER SEEMS TO BE DEAD
Their site remains available and unchanged, but
they have been under a moratorium
since early 2001. No new titles seem to have been
released since then and the information presented
here is likely to be severely outdated if they ever
emerge from this moratorium..

Kind of Contract

Non-exclusive

2+2=5
|
"...in all languages throughout the world...".
This creates a somewhat shady area for translation
rights, especially given the fact that translations
are work-for-hire. Other than that, this contract
appears to be fair (for more info on dangerous
clauses check out Beware
Treacherous Clauses Ahead).
|
|
Distribution
|
Through their site and major on-line
retailers.

About "Back-in-Print"
|
Indy Publish offers two "Back-in-Print"
packages, one is free, the other one costs $99.00.
The difference between these
is the fact that the free option forces you into an
exclusive contract.
|
|
Pros*
|
Reasonably priced.
|
|
Flexibility when it comes to purchasing extras
to meet your needs.
|
|
Good royalties.
|
|
Good distribution.
|
|
You control your book's price (and they provide
you with a very handy calculator to help you).
|
|
Cons*
|
No manuscript selection.
|
|
Low author's discount
|
|
There is a minor problem with their
contract.
|
|
Additional Comments*
|
They have been under a moratorium since early
2001.
