Come and here an editor from a Canadian university press speak about common contractual concerns such as:
- Do authors have any control over cover art?
- Who is responsible for ensuring copyright permissions are in place for any third party materials?
- What happens if the book goes out of print?
- What does a non-compete clause mean?
