iUniverse review: royalities 8

How is that possible? Getting less than $20? It says in their contract that the all profit goes to you, have you tried representing your case to a lawyer? Have you tried contacting IUniverse? If you're not receiving the full profit, than who is? They should have records of it somewhere.

It is unfortunate that you have been frustrated with the amount of royalties you have earned, but I want to explain how the process works for paying royalties and reaffirm we take the matter of royalties very seriously. When a book is sold by a retailer, a pub comp report is generated. This is an official notice sent to iUniverse explaining what book was sold and at what price. We use that information to calculate the royalty to be paid to an author as described in the author agreement and promptly process that payment according to the terms of our author agreement. If for some reason, there may be a dispute, we can also request a books printed report, which shows how many books have been printed of a particular title and shipped to a retailer. In the case of your book, we have done a thorough investigation and have confirmed we have paid every royalty on books listed on the pub comp reports received from retailers and the books printed reported aligns with those numbers. If you have any paperwork such as invoices or receipts that show otherwise, please provide them so we can clear up any discrepancy you believe exists. We want to make sure you are paid every royalty dollar you have earned, but I think you can understand why we can’t pay any amount simply on word-of-mouth. Again, we are sorry for your frustration, but right now all that has been reported to us by retailers have been paid.

I had a similar experience and so have dozens of others I have been talking with recently and the truth is that iUniverse doesn't report their sales to the author accurately. I and others are planning a class action suit and if you are interested in joining please email me at nutt.justin@gmail.com.
