Using the ReAnimus Press Store for Professional Authors
If your piece was published by a major publisher or you are a full member of a professional writers organization (AG, SFWA, RWA/NINC, etc.) and you have created your own ebooks in .epub and .mobi file formats that are error-free and attractive, you may be eligible to use the ReAnimus Press store as a tool for sales, payment collection, and file distribution to customers.

Imagine this box is your web site, and you say, Hey, buy my book: 
Click the link or the cover to see what the ReAnimus Press store page would look like. (Note that this is for a title we scanned and published, but the page for your ebooks would look the same.) |
This is useful if your site doesn't have a store front or secure payment/delivery system. Instead, you simply link to our sales page from your site. The reader then clicks to buy your book through the ReAnimus Press store; we collect the money via Paypal; verify the sale is legit; and present the buyer with a download page.
As an added advantage, our sales pages offer the reader a choice of file formats — both Kindle and Nook/iPad/etc. rather than only one or the other, so you can make all your readers happy with one single link, regardless which kind of device they have. It's a "one link fits all" idea.
Perhaps more importantly, we take a smaller cut of sales than Amazon/etc.: For purchases made in our store we take a 10% cut after Paypal fees and pay you the 90%. (Compared to Amazon paying 70% [or 35% under $2.99], B&N's 65% or 35%, etc.)
Our store page can also include links to your book on Amazon, B&N, etc. so buyers who prefer to buy through them may do so. (Ebook, print book, or both.)
Please contact us to see if your work qualifies for sale in our ReAnimus Press store.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I haven't created my own ebooks, can you help with that?
Absolutely! That's primarily what we do in the first place. We do scanning from print, OCRing, proofreading, cover art, uploading, you name it. Contact us for information or read more about what we do. For pro authors, we can either do it on a fee for services rendered basis, or a no cost, royalty basis. (And we pay the highest royalty rate of any publisher.)
I already put my book up on Amazon (or wherever), and you say you'll link to that on my ReAnimus Press store page. What percent of my sale do you take if a reader clicks that link to Amazon and buys there?
Nothing. We offer that feature solely for your convenience. And, from a technical standpoint, we couldn't take a cut even if we wanted to: Since you uploaded the book to Amazon (or wherever) yourself, we have no control over the sale; Amazon will pay you as usual.
