Form: Agency Agreement

An agency agreement is a document that details the rules which will govern your relationship with a literary agency as long as the agreement is in force.

Form: Collaboration Agreement

If you intend to work with someone else to create a joint work, you should consider entering into a collaboration agreement. A collaboration agreement is used when two or more people contribute to a book; the contributors may be, for example, two authors or an author and an illustrator. The collaboration agreement sets forth the understanding between the parties regarding the nature of the work, their business relationship, what they will each contribute, what percentage of revenue for the book each will receive, and so forth.

Form: Book Publishing Agreement

Add to Cart

A publishing agreement (also referred to as a book deal or contract) is a legal arrangement between an author and publisher. In a traditional publishing arrangement, the author agrees to transfer to the publisher certain rights in the bundle of rights associated with her copyrighted manuscript, and the publisher agrees, in turn, to pay for the costs to publish the manuscript. In exchange, both parties receive some financial gain. The publisher recoups the initial investment and part of the sales and licensing revenue. The author often receives an advance against royalties and a percentage of royalties and subsidiary rights income.

NOTE: This does not apply to a “vanity” press or “print-on-demand” publishing arrangement.
