Learn the basics of publishing contracts. From what makes up a contract and why we use them, to specific clause examples and real-life situations. For anyone involved in, or looking to become involved in, publishing. From authors or illustrators seeking a publishing deal to agents and in-house professionals in any department. It’s always useful to understand these elements so that you’re prepared. This predominantly focuses on the UK laws and sales taxes but contains a lot of transferrable, valuable information for those based in other territories.

An in-detail look into how we all enter into contracts on a daily basis and why you should know the basics regardless of your profession. We also take a look at various royalty and advance structures, the reason why certain clauses are used, subrights (film/tv, theme park, serials and others), potential pitfalls, option clauses, the subjectiveness of provisions, morality vs reputation clauses, contract layouts, verbal contracts, warranties & indemnities, geopolitical considerations and varying types of rights and licences.

Separated into bite-sized chunks with helpful slides giving breakdowns, bullet points, additional information and example clauses. Taking the time to learn the basics of publishing contracts could save you a lot of issues in the future, and ensure that you aren’t being taken advantage of.
