Understanding Book Contracts, Royalties, and Rights: Ideas on Fire Publishing Series

Description

What should professional editors understand about the contracts, royalties, and rights that shape the books they help bring into the world?

Join Ideas on Fire for a behind-the-scenes look at how scholarly book contracts work, featuring acquisitions editors from university presses and perspectives from across the publishing process. We’ll explore what happens between a publisher’s interest in a manuscript and a signed contract, including advances and royalties, subsidiary and translation rights, permissions, open access, and the questions authors should be prepared to ask.

Designed for authors, editors, and other publishing professionals, this free session offers professional editors a stronger understanding of the larger publishing ecosystem surrounding their editorial work—and useful context for supporting authors as manuscripts move toward publication.
