Publishing Contracts
A one-day course in London £385+VAT
6 March & 10 September 2012
This is an essential course for all those concerned with author-publisher and co-publication contracts – and that’s not just the contracts department. Publishers, editors, agents and permissions staff all need to understand the agreements that affect them. The focus is on a print, rather than a digital, setting.
The aim of this course is to give you:
• all the tools you need to assess current and future agreements • the chance to examine different kinds of publishing contracts in detail • the chance toput the concepts into practice through hands-on exercises.
You will need a solid grounding in copyright, publishing rights and moral rights before attending this course. Copyright and Legal Issues for Publishers can provide this.
Programme • Publishing contracts • Codes of practice • The head contract • Permissions • Artwork and illustration contracts • Co-publications • Journal contracts • Trademarks and domain names • Practical exercises.
