How to increase your fee:
Get a bonus on every e-book sale by fulfilling one or more of these three options.
Early Bird
You publish your text within six months of submitting it to the university/college.
Loyalty Bonus
You publish your sixth text (or more) with GRIN.
English Boost
You publish a text in English.
You can combine the three options however you like.
- If you meet the requirements for one bonus, you will receive a fee of up to 35%.
- If you meet the requirements for two bonuses, you will receive a fee of up to 40%.
Why is there the “early bird” advantage?
- The early bird options helps us to provide an even larger selection of current research literature.
- Your advantage: You can earn some extra money during your studies and share your knowledge directly after handing it in at your university.
Why does the English Boost exist?
- Multilingual courses of study are on the rise, which ensures that GRIN is becoming even more international. With an English text, you make your knowledge accessible to those interested in the subject from all over the world.
- Your advantage: You increase your chances of selling because your text can be read by a larger audience.
Why does the loyalty bonus exist?
- We would like to thank you for your loyalty and inspire you to upload even more texts.
- Your advantage: The chances of your texts selling increase, the more texts you have available in our shop.
