Publishing.  Publishing with SinoAmerican Books requires a simple written or email agreement by the author to sell his or her book through the SinoAmerican Books website, book sellers (e.g., Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ingram Books, Baker & Taylor), and bibliographers (e.g., Bowker).  The listed price of a book will be determined by mutual agreement between the author and Publisher after considering estimated costs and the average discount required by external book sellers.  Royalties are paid at the rate of 50% of a book’s profit (which will vary depending of the source of the sale).  Authors will be charged for printing and ancillary expenditures (if any) at cost to the Publisher.  Except under special circumstances (see below), authors will not be charged for the editing or reviewing of manuscripts or for their preparation for printing.  

Prospective authors should contact the Publisher by email (publisher@sinoamericanbooks.com) before submitting a manuscript.  All manuscripts tentatively accepted for publication are subject to reviewing and editing.  The Publisher may require that technical manuscripts be reviewed by a paid expert (after consultation with the author).  Please do not submit manuscripts that you do not wish to be evaluated for content, formatting, and language.  All suggested changes are open to negotiation between the author and Publisher, though the Publisher retains the right to reject at any stage of publishing a manuscript that does not meet SinoAmerican Book standards.

Selling.  Authors of relevant books published elsewhere may present their books on the SinoAmerican Books website for a small commission with each sale through the site.
