Don’t let your excitement over a book deal lead you to agree to terms that are less than ideal. Authors Guild Director of Legal Services Michael Gross will guide you through the most important terms to negotiate when considering a traditional publishing contract, focusing on critical provisions and perils to avoid.  The rights, money and warranty and indemnity provisions will be discussed in depth and members will have a chance to ask questions.  

Please note that this webinar is presented for informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. Professional members of the Authors Guild can submit book contracts to our legal staff for review.
