But there is a lot at stake for authors in a book deal, and it is well worth the effort to read the contract, understand its contents, and negotiate for favorable terms. A publication contract outlines what rights you are granting to your publisher and on what terms. If you sign away all of the rights in your book to the publisher for the life of copyright, this will preclude you from certain future uses of your work. Even if you don't have any future plans for your work, you may still regret transferring all rights if your publisher does not make full use of them, your book falls out of print, or sales drop. And the grant of rights clause is only one part of the contract that deserves your careful attention. The terms of the contract can also dictate the specifics of how you will be paid for your book, how much input you have in the appearance of your book, your commitments relating to the manuscript and future works, who is responsible for legal claims stemming from your book's content, how your book will be promoted, whether and how you can regain control over the rights to your book, and much more. Happily, authors have something of value to bring to the negotiating table (your copyrights!) and negotiation provides the opportunity to establish the terms that it works for you as well as for your publisher. Our publication contract resources empower you to understand and negotiate a publication contract that benefits you, your publisher, and readers--and ultimately increases the impact of your book. 410 0$aAuthors Alliance ;$vno. 4. 606 $aCopyright$zUnited States$vPopular works 606 $aAuthors and publishers$zUnited States$vPopular works 606 $aContracts$zUnited States$vPopular works 606 $aAuthors$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States$vPopular works 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCopyright 615 0$aAuthors and publishers 615 0$aContracts 615 0$aAuthors$xLegal status, laws, etc. 700 $aSchofield$b Brianna$01146064 702 $aBridge$b Katherine$4auth 702 $aGraefin vom Hagen$b Karen$4auth 702 $aKuksenkova$b Anna$4auth 702 $aWalker$b Robert Kirk$4edt 702 $aSchofield$b Brianna L$4edt 702 $aWalker$b Robert Kirk$4oth 702 $aSchofield$b Brianna L$4oth 712 02$aAuthor's Alliance, 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524661003321 996 $aUnderstanding and Negotiating Book Publication Contracts$92686676 997 $aUNINA
