Legal Services for Academic Writers

You’ve spent years conducting research and preparing your manuscript. Now it’s time to make sure you’re fairly compensated for all your hard work.

Our lawyers know what pitfalls to watch out for in academic publishing contracts, including:

• Signing away your copyright
• Earning little or no royalties
• Allowing your publisher to use your work in educational portals and other places without additional compensation

Let the Authors Guild legal team review your contract before you sign it! We’ll make sure you retain your copyright, earn a competitive advance and royalties, get regular and transparent accounting of sales, and are able to get your rights back when your book goes out of print.

Whether you’ve published a book before, or have your first contract offer, join the Authors Guild today. You’ll be glad you did.
