How Authors Sell Publishing Rights by ALLi

Want to know how to make more money from your books without writing another word?

Receiving regular royalties is only one revenue stream for your books. There are so many others.

***** “The definitive resource.”
***** “Authoritative and inspiring.”

If you’re an indie author but haven’t explored the opportunity of selling film, TV, audio and translation rights to your book, you’re leaving money on the table.

There are so many other rights that you can sell too, such as video games, merchandising, large print, audio and many more.

This book covers them all and shows you how to approach the decision-makers, what they’re looking for, and what to expect when discussing the license or ‘sale of rights’ for your book. It even includes sample contracts that you can adapt for your own use.

After reading How Authors Sell Publishing Rights, you’ll know how to pitch, negotiate and close a sale, as well as how to work with literary agents and global publishing companies, how to make the most out of book fairs, and how to keep track of your rights.

These days the publishing landscape is rife with fantastic opportunities to maximise the revenue from each and every one of your books.

If you’re happy to miss out on other lucrative revenue streams, this book isn’t for you.

If, however, you want to learn how to maximise your income as an indie author, you can’t afford not to read this simple to follow guide.
