Copyright, Contracts & Subsidiary Rights 101

$30.00

May 7th – 7pm CST / 8pm EST

Your book isn’t just a file — it’s an asset. This session demystifies the rights you own, the rights you can sell, and how to make sure you keep what matters. We’ll break down:

  • Copyright essentials every author should know

  • How contracts actually work (beyond the scary legalese)

  • Key clauses to never overlook

  • When a “deal” is really a rights grab

  • Licensing vs assignment — and why it matters

  • Subsidiary rights: audio, foreign, film/TV, anthologies, and more

  • Common red flags in publishing agreements

  • When to involve an agent or IP attorney

Whether you’re indie or traditionally published, this is the “no-surprises” guide to protecting your intellectual property from day one.

Presented by:

Heather Roberts, Attorney, CEO and Founder of 1852 Media and 1852 Literary

Veronica Adams, Attorney, COO of 1852 Media and Senior Agent at 1852 Literary
