When publishers agree to publish your work, they ask you to sign an author contract. While these contracts may seem confusing, we can help you understand their provisions of those contracts and ensure that you can use your work in the ways you want down the road. This workshop will discuss common author contract provisions, especially as they relate to copyright and the rights you may retain after signing. 

Location: Van Pelt Library | 3420 Walnut St | 2nd Floor, Class of 1955 Conference Room 241

This session is co-sponsored by Penn Libraries.
