Kentucky Book Fair Policy on paying Self-Suppliers:
The Kentucky Book Fair will pay self-supplied or self-published authors for the actual sales as determined by the sales figures from the cash registers. You will not be compensated for books that are not processed through the cash registers. Therefore, it is imperative that all data fields are completed in order for this information to be added to the event database accurately and ahead of the day of the book fair.If the books are Print on Demand (POD), the author will be responsible for supplying the books for the event. The Kentucky Book Fair will pay the author 60% of the agreed upon retail price of the title for each copy sold during the event. For books that are not POD, the Kentucky Book Fair will procure them from the publisher. However, for this to occur, the titles must be obtained on a returnable basis with no prepayment required and at least a 40% discounted rate. Otherwise, the author will be requested to provide the books for the event as described with the POD titles.
