Legacy Books publishes self-help, educational, and personal or organisational history books. Manuscripts chosen by Legacy Books will generally have a built-in target audience, whom the author can market their books. For example, professional speakers, lecturers and expert professionals would generally have an easily accessible target market.

We are currently accepting unsolicited manuscripts. Please check out the submission guidelines before submitting your manuscript.

Legacy Books pays its authors a generous share of the profits as a royalty (about 30%) rather than an up-front advance.

There is a minimum sale before receiving royalties on their books. The minimum sale is 50 copies. After 50 copies the author receives approximately 30% per book sold (depending on indivudual contracts). An example of how your contract with Legacy Books might look if your work was accepted for publication is listed below.

Author contract example:

Between 1-49 copies sold:

• Cost to publish and market: $9 per copy
• Retail cost of book: $19.00
• Royalty to author between 1 - 49 copies: $0
• Profit to Legacy Books: $10

Over 50 copies sold:

• Cost to publish and market: $9 per copy
• Retail cost of book: $19.00
• Royalty to author after 50 copies: $5 (38% of profit)
• Profit to Legacy Books: $5
  
  If the author wishes to buy the book for themselves the cost is "Cost to Publish" plus "Profit to Legacy Books". So, prior to 50 copies being sold the Author's price for the book would be $19 and after 50 copies have been sold $14.
