What does it cost to use Draft2Digital?

Draft2Digital has no up-front charges for any of our services (formatting, conversion, distribution, and sales tracking).

We make a percentage of each of your books’ sales, so we don’t get paid unless you get paid.

Our fee is approximately* 10% of the price you set for your book (list price). That means most of our stores take about 30%, Draft2Digital takes about 10%, and you keep about 60% of the list price of your ebook.

For print books, you will make about 45% of the list price of your print book, minus the base printing cost.

Draft2Digital shows estimated royalties on a store-by-store basis based on your list price. If you change your list price, these estimated royalties will live update to show you a best estimate of your take-home cut for each sale you might make at each specific store.

*Why Approximately?

Not only are taxes are specific to your location, but each store has their own specific quirks, royalty rates, and rules. On the page where you set your price, we inform you fully of each specific store's projected royalty rate as well as any special considerations you may need to know concerning a specific storefront's rules. 

(PS - you'll earn the highest royalty rate from selling your book through the Smashwords store.)
