In this video tutorial from the Bookends YouTube channel, the topic discussed is the option clause in publishing contracts. An option clause grants the publisher the right of first refusal, allowing them to review an author's next work before it is available to other publishers. The video emphasizes the importance of limiting the scope and duration of these clauses, as they can vary significantly. While the standard practice is for the option to apply only to the author's next book, some publishers may try to extend it to all subsequent works. The speaker highlights the need to negotiate these terms effectively to protect the author's interests.

Can you negotiate a publishing contract?

Any author can negotiate with any publisher, and it is often in the authors best interest to do so. Publisher copyright transfer agreements (CTAs) are written to the publishers advantage, not the authors.

What are the royalties on a publishing contract?

Royalties paid on the retail price are fairly simple to calculate, and unless, the retail price of the book changes (which does happen), retail royalties are locked in. Average retail royalties fall in the 10% - 15% range on Hardcover sales, and 5% - 7.5% on Trade Paperback sales, generally.

What happens when a publisher buys your book?

Your publisher will launch your book at certain time of the year, usually in the Winter, Spring or Fall. This can be from a few months after the book is completed up to 18-24 months after signing the contract. While that would be quite a long wait, envision the advantage of many months to docHub readers.

Can you break a publishing contract?

Termination can be proposed by either party, and, once initiated, there is usually a waiting period of six months to a year before the actual agreement is concluded. Reasons for termination vary but most often concern a failure to meet specific contractual obligations.

What is the termination clause of a publishing contract?

Upon termination by the Publisher, the Author shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Publisher, immediately repay the Publisher any sums previously paid to the Author, and upon such repayment, all rights granted to the Publisher under this Agreement shall revert to the Author.

Do authors have contracts with publishers?

The author gives the publisher certain rights over their material for the term of the agreement. These rights are granted only to this publisher and might include the right to publish, communicate, and distribute the published work online and to sublicence.

How do you write a publishing contract?

The publishing contract typically contains the names of the author or artist (or authors/artists) and the publisher, the object of the contract (e.g. a book or a music album), the length of rights transfer, the amount of royalties and advance payment, and other conditions.
