Up, up, and away!

Announcing the launch of “Know Before You Sign on the Dotted Line”—our first-ever Kickstarter campaign! We’ve created this crowdfunding project to support the production of our latest educational resource, a guide to Understanding Book Publication Contracts.

Signing a contract is a key step in an author’s career, but feedback from our members tells us that many authors are not well-served by their contract terms. To address this need, we’re creating a new guide that will empower authors to:

• Understand common clauses in their book contracts
• Identify which clauses to push for, and which to avoid
• Have productive conversations with agents, attorneys, and publishers
• Meet their creative and pragmatic goals through effective negotiation
• And more!

Check out our project video and Kickstarter page for more details about the guide and to learn how your support will help us reach the finish line. Please join our community today by making a pledge and helping us to spread the word!
