So over or under 5K€?
Thinking about doing a single price and not do anything related to the publishing rights

Not that anon but how much do you estimate an average book like this to sell? Would you entertain something like a 2.25% of all royalties commission? i.e. let's say 10,000 books get sold, all at 20 dollars—so of that 200,000 dollars made from sales, you get €4,500 (aka 2.25%)

Honestly have no idea how many he will sell and that's my problem.
I feel like I might get fucked If I ask for royalties.
It's def not going to be a big seller i'm sure of that.

>Flat Fee
Set a fixed price based on project tiers (e.g., basic edit vs. full integration).
Predictable for client
$100–250 for basic adaptation; $300+ if it includes print-ready files.
>Value-Based
Price based on the project's impact (e.g., 5–10% of expected book revenue).
Maximizes earnings for high-value work.
If the book could earn $5K, charge $250–500.

First look at how many hours it will take you, then multiply that by an hourly wage that you feel is moral.

No one fucking cares what you asked a LLM. If they wanted to know, they'd have fucking asked a LLM themselves.
You brainless, dickless, nigger-cock sucking faggot.

multiply the number of hours it will take you to make it or it took you to already have made it, by 25 bucks and write a contract for 5% royalties on sales only if it breaches the 1 million dollar sale
