This standard work on the subject of publishers' agreements has now been updated and extensively revised by the author. Agreements nowadays are usually long and complex and even the most experienced authors may sometimes find it difficult to interpret the basic terms of a contract, and for first-time authors it can be a largely incomprehensible document The author analyses a typical contract, explaining the meaning of each clause, commenting on its effect. He goes on not only to cover many of the variations of the clauses which authors may meet, but also to point out those terms which may be considered as below present-day standards of fairness. Michael Legat also covers typical contracts from paperback houses and US and foreign publishers, and gives advice on the documents which may be drawn up in respect of articles and stories purchased by magazines and newspapers. Readers will also find useful information on such matters as author/agent agreements, permissions letters, and where to go for further help in case of trouble. This book will be an invaluable addition to any authors library.

"Copyright law and contract language are complex, even for attorneys and experts. Authors may be tempted to sign the first version of a publication contract that they receive, especially if negotiating seems complicated, intimidating, or risky. 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. To that end, Understanding and Negotiating Book Publication Contracts identifies clauses that frequently appear in publishing contracts, explains in plain language what these terms (and typical variations) mean, and presents strategies for negotiating "author-friendly" versions of these clauses. When authors have more information about copyright and publication options for their works, they are better able to make and keep their works available in the ways they want"--Publisher.
