Printed Material Sales Royalties - 10%
Scripts, scores, etc. have a very low markup. The main goal, yours as well as ours, is to get your script used in performance. Therefore we try to keep our profit margins low. Thus, for example, if we sell your script for $5 most of that will be printing costs. You would receive 10% or 50 cents.

Video Sales Royalties - 50%
Drama Source has realized that performing groups often want a copy of their production for personal reasons. Rather than block this as many companies do, we require them to put copyright notices in the first of the video and give rights to make a certain, limited number of video copies. For this right they agree to pay a royalty of 30% with a minimum royalty per video. Thus clubs can use this for a fund raiser and enjoy the good memories of performing your play while still giving you the remuneration you deserve. For example, say there was 100 videos sold at $20. If the minimum royalty was $3, then 30% of $20 is $6 per video which is higher than the $3 minimum. Thus the royalty charge would be $6 per video or $600 dollars. The club would keep $1400 for their fund raiser and you would receive $300.

      You may also choose not to allow videos of productions of your scripts. This is your choice as the author.

• We print the script for the author (usually about $4.00 each in batches of a hundred or more plus shipping) and the author ships them out.
• We act as a fullfillment center for the author printing and mailing scripts that are requested. Scripts would usually be $5 plus shipping and handling and we would pay the author 10%. (These could be paid orders or if the author offers complimentary scripts he/she would pay us for the scripts and shipping and handling.)
• Other possibilites could be worked out. Feel free to write dhoward@dramasource.com.
