What our customers say
JACOB STEVENS, MANAGING DIRECTOR, VERSO BOOKS
BiblioLIVE can process complex contracts, including multiple works and editions, with all possible combinations of discount breaks, grouped escalators and different rates by sales channel. All with detailed statements, which clearly show the basis for royalty amounts, advance and retention calculations, royalty deductions, and sub-rights income. In effect, it’s given us the power to answer questions before they’ve even been asked.
