Royalty Publishing Program
Royalty FAQ
We always suggest that you look toward publishing your genealogy book yourself with professional help. It is a vastly rewarding experience. However, if you have a genealogy or history book you want to see in print but don't want to do yourself, we would love to be of service to you as well as other genealogists that need your information. Typically, a book project scenario needs to be suggested to us for review. We will then decide if it is a project we can undertake at the time. If the project is accepted, the author would then send the completed contract (see blank example) with the project. Accepted projects are published at no cost to the Copyright holder and pay annual royalty of 15% of profit!

active roll first, rather then turning over all your great work for someone else
to take care of. Compilation is only part of the complete genealogy book
experience!

book manuscripts/projects.
Note: We take no responsibility for unsolicited book packages sent to our
offices.
