Speaking to friends today and at least two more books have been purchased but my sales and royalties have not been updated. How often does this happen and why have my records remained static?

Hi David,
Royalty updates depend on when we get the sales report from the printers which can vary slightly. Most of the time it comes around half way through the month after the sales occur. When we get the report we update everyone’s sales balances. We generally summarize the sales into one transaction. For example 5 sales of a title will be entered as one transaction with a description of 5x sale of book x.
