We are working in two ways: 1) Traditional contract; and 2) Hybrid publishing contract.
If our editors find work highly valuable toward public awareness and philosophical enlightenment, the Zagros Foundation invests, and the whole cost for producing, publishing, and marketing the work will be covered by us. We pay royalties to the author/s according to our publishing contract.
If we have problems with the marketability of the work, we ask the author to cover the initial production and printing costs of the work.
