Author Contracts

This webinar presents the chance to learn about the perspective of authors on contemporary publishing contacts, with the Australian Society of Authors Chief Executive Olivia Lanchester sharing her knowledge.

The ASA provides an advisory service to its members on publishing contracts, and as Olivia Lanchester was formerly the ASA Legal Services manager she has seen a wide variety.

In this conversation she talks about the range from the good to the ugly, explains what the ASA is likely to advise its members, and discusses the ASA's support for the campaign by the International Authors Forum (IAF) asking publishers to observe the Ten Principles of Fair Contracts.

This is a useful opportunity to discover the issues likely to concern authors you are contracting with, and their advisers.
