Donations sent and transparency / How the royalties are worked out:
The Amazon publishing page allows me to see what has sold month by month and what book royalties have come in, sortable by author name.
The books are all credited to Chris Selby as compiler.
100% of all royalties that are paid under that name for the period that these books are published will be sent to the charity.
Screen grabs of those royalties paid and and of the matching donations sent will be posted here.
Royalties are paid by Amazon two months in arrears from the end of the first publishing month.
Therefore the first donations to be sent will be sent at the end of January 2023.
