 CONTRACTS,
ROYALTIES and PAYMENTS
Slick Friction requires a signed contract on any
submission accepted for publishing in either electronic or
print format. Our contracts usually cover a three-year
period at which time an extension can be signed.
PAYMENT FOR EROTIC NOVELS
If your novel is listed for sale in our online
bookstore, in digital format at additional web retail sites
or as a hard copy book. you will receive quarterly payments
when your total sales for that period exceed $25. If your
payments for any 3-month period is less than $25, that
amount will be rolled over into the next quarter until you
have reached the $25 minimum threshold for payment.
We prefer to use PayPal to issue payments, but will issue
checks if requested. (Checks must equal $50 in accrued
royalties.) Authors living outside of the United States must
use PayPal to receive royalties.
