Authors get editors/designers to sign-on for a share of sales using @Booktrope: pllqt.it/irREwT
Booktrope brings collaboration to publishing
Anyway, if you’re accepted into the system, you then post your completed manuscript on Booktrope and try to attract a team of editors, designers and marketers, who can then collaborate through Booktrope’s online tools. Authors aren’t paying other team members directly, but offering them a share of the royalties. That means the author doesn’t have to pay out of their own pocket for these services, and the team members will have an incentive for the book to do well.- techcrunch.com
