Self-publishing multi-author compilations...possible/impossible?

[Brunne]

I'd love to know if any of you have any experience in self-publishing with the scenario of a collaborative compilation book (i.e. multiple authors and stories published together, each maintaining their individual copyrights). If so, how did you go about the 'housekeeping' side of royalties, taxes, amazon accounts etc?

It's feeling like one of those ideas that sounds great at first, but gets mighty complicated as you go along, especially if the authors live in different countries...

Would be incredibly appreciative for any words of wisdom from the more experienced...

Thanks

Taking that as a 'no', then....drat.

I'm in a couple of those but they were/are for charity.

The OP might contact sr21pilot, he has several out, if I'm not mistaken. Or at least he might have some ideas on the problems you would face

True!
Of course there are hurdles.

Or eXcessica? I'm not sure how that works but it seems to be something similar.

eXcessica is an e-publish company started here in the AH. Last I heard she had all the authors she could handle.

Yes but they do anthologies and I'm not sure where the royalties go or how they are divided if they go to authors, so that might or might not be helpful to Brunne.

Good point.

An e-mail to her might get an answer.
