Read the Write Book will consider selling books with professional production quality, proofreading and marketing; professional cover design and page layout, and a registered ISBN.

Read the Write Book does not charge an administrative or yearly fee to have books displayed in store, including electronic (ebook) versions. It is the author's responsibility to cover the costs of posting physical copies of their books to the P.O. Box, located in Western Australia. Any books not sold within the agreed time period will be the responsibility of the author to arrange postage back to them. All ebooks are exempt of time limits and will remain available on the website until a written request is received by the author asking to have the book removed.

The author is in control of setting the listing price of their consigned books, subject to approval by Read the Write Book. Read the Write Book reserves the right to offer any books at a discount, as part of our frequent buyer's program or any other promotion at our discretion, provided that the discount value remains within the pricing limits set by the author. The price paid at register, including any discounts, is the 'sale price'.

On any sale of consigned books, the author will receive 60% of the sale profit and Read the Write Book will keep the remaining 40%. For ebooks and audiobooks, the author will receive 80% and Read the Write Book will keep the remaining 20%.

Consignment payments will be sent to the author on a monthly basis, once an invoice has been provided. An invoice request will be sent to the author with details of book sales and prices. If a book sale is above the authors minimum sale amount, the author will be paid accordingly.

The consignment contract for physical books will be reviewed every six months, at which time Read the Write Book will evaluate the sales of the consigned works and decide whether or not to renew the agreement for a further six month period. 

If a consignment agreement is not renewed, the author has two weeks to arrange return of the remaining books to them at the authors expense. If the books have not been claimed within 30 days after the expiration of the consignment agreement, they become the property of Read the Write Book.

Read the Write Book is not responsible for losses due to theft, wear and tear, or for lost, stolen or damaged property during transit between Read the Write Book and the author.

Multiple formats of the same title, including electronic (ebook) versions can be included in the same application, as long as the separate ISBN is included. All ebooks will remain available in the online store until a written request is received by the author asking to have the book removed.

Prospective consignment authors must complete the application form in order to have their work considered for consignment. Applications will be considered on a monthly basis. A separate application form is required for each title. In the case of a title being offered in different formats (i.e. paperback and ebook), both formats can be included in the one application.
