A non profit publisher will make no profit.. but...??

Question

how about me? if I publish with a non profit organization, will I still make profit myself or do I suddenly become non-profit too...??

Thanks for clarifying!

I just googled for publishers and 80% of the list I got said we are a non- profit publishing firm..... so... ??

I did not háve any criteria yet.. that's why I am asking. googled poetry publishers, got 80 percent non profit publishers and wondered what the **** that was??? That's all... Seems I'll be doin some more searching.

Answer 1

I've never heard of a non-profit publisher...

If ever a non-profit publisher exists, you will still receive royalties for your book. Non-profit simply means the organization is not receiving additional money. The funds it receives are just enough to cover overhead expenses (salaries, electric bills, rent, etc.) The rest of the money is put in its projects, advocacies or charity works.

Answer 2

You have an odd criteria for publishers if 80% of the ones you looked at are non-profit. What is it. exactly, you are looking for?

Answer 3

A non-profit publisher? I doubt one exists but if so, the name is just what it implies, thus the answer to your question is no, you will make nothing.
