Legal Issues in Publishing

November 25 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Negotiating your first book contract can feel like an overwhelming process. When do I start seeing royalties? When do I get paid? How do I keep my copyright? Should I only sell rights to print in the English language, or in all languages? This class will take you step-by-step through the main provisions of a book contract. You will leave not only with a strong grasp of relevant contract clauses, but also a better understanding of your rights and how to protect them.

Key Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand key sections and clauses in a publishing contract.
  • Gain knowledge of intellectual property rights in publishing.
  • Comprehend the financial structures of publishing houses.
  • Learn about the role of an agent and resources for negotiating publishing deals.
