Frequently Asked Questions

How does international delivery work?
Club de Autores has bases in Brazil and Europe, with printing agreements in these two places. Books purchased in Brazil are printed and delivered by Brazilian printers; books purchased in any European Union member country will be printed and delivered by European printers. Books purchased in other countries worldwide are exported from points that offer the best logistical advantages.
How do I receive payments for sales in other countries?
International royalties are handled in the same way as local royalties. All your royalties will be converted to your original currency, made visible in your statement and deposited into the account you provided following the rules accepted during your registration. These rules can be viewed in detail here.
Does international distribution include printed book, eBooks and audiobooks?
Yes, both printed books (which constitute the majority of book sales worldwide) as well as eBooks are distributed internationally. While audiobooks is a work in progress, international distribution will also be available for them, too!
Do I need to do anything for my book to be distributed?
Throughout the publishing process, you have the option to distribute or not distribute your book. If you choose to distribute, you don’t need to do anything else: within 30 days, your book will be available in all associated stores worldwide. If you choose not to distribute, your book will be for sale only on Author Freely platforms.
Can I change the distribution status of my book?
Yes, whenever you want! Simply log in, locate your Published books and select your desired distribution status in the actions area.
Will the price of my book be the same in all countries?
No. As production costs vary in each country, Author Freely’s system recalculates the value to take into account print costs, the average book price and currency differences. But don’t worry: in places where Author Freely has its own structure (such as Brazil and the European Union), your book will always be sold within local average prices.
Do my royalties vary according to the sales channel?
Yes. There are three ways that your royalties are calculated:
a) For sales made directly on the Author Freely site in your country, you will receive exactly what you established at the time of publication.
b) For sales in any bookstore, marketplace or international Author Freely-affiliated site, you will receive 20% of the final book sale price.
c) For sales on subscription platforms, loans or digital libraries (applicable only to eBooks or audiobooks), you will receive 50% of the net value transferred by each channel to Author Freely.
All these rules can be viewed in detail in the author’s contract accepted at the time of your registration.
What is the advantage of international distribution?
Basically, audience. There are millions of readers in your language scattered around the globe, and international distribution allows your book to be accessible to them, expanding your audience and in turn your earnings.
How should my e-book be prepared for distribution?
Once authorized for sale in e-book format, your book will be distributed to partner channels within the timeframes stipulated in the contract. Each channel has distinct requirements, which we have listed below; your e-book must meet these requirements to appear on them.

Requirements for e-book distribution:
Google Play: Not applicable | Does not require Epub format
Amazon Kindle: Requires ISBN | Requires Epub format
Scribd: Does not require ISBN | Requires Epub format
Other distributors: Require ISBN | Require Epub format
