Deal Breakers 2013: Contract Terms Writers Should Avoid (WMG Writer's Guide Book 4)

In recent years, traditional publishers have shifted from wanting only the rights they need to demanding as many rights as they can get, not just for the book under consideration, but for all books the writer writes. If the writer wants to remain a hybrid writer (utilizing both traditional and indie publishing)—or even leave and go to a different traditional publisher—he or she must negotiate a good contract.
In this WMG Writer’s Guide, international bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch helps writers navigate the changing tides of the publishing industry to make the best possible deal while retaining the rights to publish their works how and where they choose.

Chapters in this book include:
Deal Breakers
Rights Reversion
Agents and Audits
