Publishing Agreements

April 7, 2010
Copyright ©

As a writer you will want the benefits that come from owning copyright on your work.

If however, you plan to get the work published you will have to enter into copyright and publishing agreements with the publishing house. As such you will require the assistance of Pretoria copyright attorneys such as Smit & Van Wyk.

First time published authors often fall into the trap of signing agreements where all rights on the work go the publisher, with little or no scope of self marketing for the author.

It is even possible to commit copyright infringement on your own work if you have signed away all the rights.

Get the help of experienced Pretoria copyright attorneys such as Smit & Van Wyk for the reviewing of agreements with publishers before signing any agreements.
