Yes, it's absolutely true. Once you have submitted your book and it has been accepted, it will be available for sale, absolutely free, on Amazon, Apple iBook, Goole Play and Kobo.

The mission of Spiritus Tremens is to help authors make themselves known by selling their books on the internet. For each copy sold or ordered, Spiritus Tremens will take a royalty between $2 and $5. Spiritus Tremens will donate $1 from this royalty to a charity.

Spiritus Tremens will pay you each month by an email transfer. You will be paid 3 months after the original sale. For example, you will be paid in February for sales made in November.

Because our partners pay us three months later. It's as simple as that.

Yes, it will. Your book will be sold in paper format on all Amazon sites.

Yes, you can. You can order any quantity of your book in paper format. All you have to do is request copies. Spiritus Tremens will contact you to let you know how much your order will cost and you will have to pay for it, in advance, by bank transfer by email.

45 pages in standard Word format will give about 100 5x8 pages while 200 Word pages will give about 450 5x8 pages.

The mission of Spiritus Tremens is to help authors make themselves known by selling their books on the internet. After 250 copies sold or ordered, we reduce our royalties by 33%. We will also reduce our royalties by 33% if you order 100 copies within 6 months of the sale of your book.

Of course, it depends on several factors since you decide what royalties you want to pocket. For example, on Amazon, the maximum selling price for an e-book is $9.99. By asking for a royalty of $4 per copy sold, that's the price at which your book will be sold. You will therefore make 40% of its selling price, which is gigantic compared to the 10% that a publisher will offer you. For paper books on sale on Amazon, the margin will be lower since Amazon keeps a bigger piece of the pie. For a book of about 300 pages that you want to sell for about $30, you will receive about $7 per copy sold. You will therefore make 23% of its selling price. If you order, by Spiritus Tremens, 20 copies of this 300-page book, it will cost you about 13$, taxes and delivery included. So if you wish to sell it for $25 to your loved ones, at your launch or during various activities, you will pocket nearly 50% of its selling price. Wow!
