In this tutorial, the speaker focuses on a crucial aspect of publishing contracts with university presses: the "right of first refusal." This clause, often included as boilerplate in contracts, gives the publisher the first opportunity to publish your next book. If you agree to this clause, after signing for Book X, you must offer the next book, Book Y, to the same publisher first, and only if they decline can you approach others. The speaker emphasizes that this is a provision that should always be rejected, highlighting that even experienced editors advocate for its exclusion, as it can limit authors’ opportunities after their initial publication.
