Without exaggeration or hyperbole, perhaps one of the most requested features from Draft2Digital authors has been payment splitting.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why we are\u00a0thrilled<\/i>\u00a0to announce that\u00a0D2D Payment Splitting<\/b>\u00a0is now available!<\/p>\n
This new tool allows authors and contributors to collaborate on projects without having to worry about managing the royalties. D2D has baked in peak simplicity to this powerful tool, assisting authors in everything from the tax interview to managing percentages for splits on any of your works.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re familiar with\u00a0D2D Shared Universes<\/b>, you already know that D2D has some long-standing experience with helping to manage shared royalties. D2D Shared Universes enables an intellectual property owner to open their world up for contributors to produce original books, and with royalties shared between the contributing author and the Universe owner.<\/p>\n
But now we\u2019re taking things a few steps further.<\/p>\n
D2D Payment Splitting<\/b>\u00a0gives copyright owners the ability to co-publish works and control the percentages owned by each participant.<\/p>\n
It starts with an Organizer<\/b>, who sets up the project and invites\u00a0Collaborators<\/b>. The Organizer determines the percent split for each Collaborator, and the Collaborator can accept or reject the offer.<\/p>\n
Both Organizer and Collaborator will have to have Draft2Digital accounts and will have to complete their\u00a0payment settings<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0tax interview<\/b>.<\/p>\n
As with all books published through Draft2Digital,\u00a0you maintain 100% of your copyright<\/b>. D2D Royalty Splitting makes it easier to share a percentage of a book\u2019s royalties between multiple contributors and\/or copyright holders. We provide the same safe and secure payments as we use for individual authors, so you\u2019ll never have to worry.<\/p>\n
