Model 01
Creator 80/20
Approved direct production and sales costs are deducted first. The remaining distributable income is divided 80 percent to the author and 20 percent to The Premium Editions.
Independent publishing · Aligned economics
Publishing
that endures.
Selective books about business, technology, capital and leadership — published with transparent economics and exacting editorial standards.
Author ownershipRights remain explicit, limited and contractually defined.
Transparent costsEvery cost is visible before it enters the project waterfall.
Aligned returnsThe publisher performs economically when the book performs.
Selective publishingNot an open-access services marketplace or vanity press.
The publishing house
A modern imprint with old-fashioned standards.
Traditional publishing can provide reach, editorial credibility and distribution — but often at the cost of opaque economics and a small share of the value the author created. Self-publishing offers control but no infrastructure. The Premium Editions is built between the two: selective publishing, professional execution and transparent economics.
Publishing models
Two ways to align the work and the return.
Model 02
Growth Partnership
The Premium Editions receives 2 percent of gross receipts before book-specific costs. After approved costs are recovered, the author receives the remaining surplus up to an agreed hurdle. Above that hurdle, additional surplus is divided 80 percent to the author and 20 percent to The Premium Editions.
Editorial principle
The identity should look expensive without trying to announce that it is expensive.
Author ownership. Transparent costs. Agreed rights. Quarterly reporting.
