Book Rights 101: Have you ever wondered how book rights work? Maybe you’ve signed a contract, and you’re now wondering what rights you actually agreed to, and what you should’ve held onto? No matter what stage you’re in – whether you’re querying, thinking of signing a contract, or have signed multiple – this practical, no-legalese introductory workshop will give you a clearer understanding of how rights actually work. We’ll talk about what rights you own, what you may have licensed and maybe what you didn’t mean to, and what these mean for your career and future opportunities. We’ll demystify fancy contractual terms and confusing fine print, and help you understand prospective territories, formats, and future opportunities you might not have considered yet. You’ll leave with greater clarity about the options you have and confidence to advocate for yourself.
