Partnership Publishing is an investment by the author--the manuscript--and an approximate $3,000.00 in editing and design  by FtQ Press.

FtQ Press and the author will split evenly costs for marketing, promotion, and production costs above the initial author investment. No funds will be spent without mutual agreement.

50-50 split

Revenues are split evenly between FtQ Press and the author. Clearly, there can be no advances against royalties in the Partnership model.

Marketing will be a joint effort, with FtQ Press promoting from the platforms of the Flogging the Quill blog, the Vampire Kitty-cat website, and this website. The author should create either a website or a blog--FtQ Press can assist with that.

The initial plan will encompass Print on Demand publishing and distribution through Lightning Source and e-book publishing through Smashwords and, if appropriate, Kindle. This route makes the book available on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and other Internet book marketing sites, and for the United Kingdom (Britain, Canada, Australia). If the author wishes to volunteer the funds to print offset and warehouse books, FtQ Press can make that happen.
